How to Play Daily Squares
Find every word in today's grid. One fresh puzzle a day, the same board for everyone.
Drag from the first letter to the last. Here, YARD runs left to right along the top row — but words can run in any of eight directions.
The rules
- Find every word in the list.
- Drag across letters to select a word.
- Words may run horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
- Words may also appear backwards.
- Find all words to complete today's puzzle.
- A new puzzle arrives every day at midnight UTC.
Timer
The clock starts on your first found word and stops the moment the grid is cleared.
Hints
Hints stay deliberately secondary. They nudge you toward one unfound word rather than solving the board, and the number you use is recorded with your result.
Streaks
Complete the puzzle on consecutive days to build a streak. Missing a day resets it; archive puzzles never inflate it.
Archive
Missed a day? Past grids live in the Daily Squares archive and can be replayed any time.
Sharing
Finishing gives you a spoiler-free result card with your time and streak — no words, no solutions.
