Squaredle

What is Squaredle?

Squaredle is a daily word search game where you must find as many words as possible in a grid of letters by connecting adjacent squares. Unlike traditional word searches, words can twist and turn in any direction, and you're racing against time to find them all.

It combines elements of Boggle with modern puzzle game design.

Squaredle Game Rules

1. Grid: Usually a 4×4 or 5×5 letter grid
2. Connect Adjacent: Form words by connecting adjacent letters (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal)
3. Minimum Length: Words must be at least 4 letters long
4. No Reuse: Can't use the same square twice in one word
5. Any Direction: Words can go in any direction and change direction
6. Daily Challenge: New grid every day
7. Bonus Words: Extra points for finding all words
