Squaredle Game: Find the Hidden Words

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the rules of Squaredle?

  The main objective of Squaredle is to uncover hidden words within a 4x4 grid of letters. To do so, you must connect adjacent letters in sequence to form valid words. Words can be constructed in any direction—horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or even in winding, curved patterns—as long as each letter remains connected.
  There is no single correct path to victory. Typically, you will discover multiple words of varying lengths, ranging from 4 letters to over 10. Some words might be immediately obvious, while others require keen observation and creative thinking to spot. Are you ready to put your word-finding skills to the test?

• Where is the best place to start the game?

  At the beginning of each game, you are free to start from any letter on the board. A good strategy is to look for commonly used prefixes or letter combinations that often appear in words. Scanning for vowels or frequent consonant pairings like 'TH', 'ST', or 'CH' can also help uncover longer words early on. Experiment with different starting points and see what patterns emerge!

• Which dictionary do you use?

  Squaredle relies on a well-curated dictionary to ensure that only valid words count towards your score. In the American English version, we use the dictionary from the Letterpress database, which includes thousands of commonly accepted words. As we expand to different languages, we carefully select dictionaries that best match native vocabulary and usage.

• Why do I see the message 'Word not found'?

  This message appears when the word you entered is not recognized in our database. Squaredle follows a strict word list to ensure fairness, so proper nouns, abbreviations, and extremely obscure words may not be included. If you believe a word should be valid, feel free to reach out—we are always looking to improve our dictionary! Contact Us.

• Is a hidden word incorrect? Can it be fixed?

  We strive to maintain an accurate and enjoyable word list, but mistakes can sometimes occur. If you find a word that seems incorrect or questionable, please contact us with details. Our team will review it and make necessary adjustments in future updates. Contact Us.
