Fun!
I made one with a 5x5 square of letters, containing five words down and five across:
https://squareword.org/ https://squareword.org/
A bit like a combination of crosswords and Wordle, as vertical words can be used for additional clues.
- NAHWheatCracker 5y agoThis is really neat and polished!
- aidenn0 5y agoNice, but seems to use a fairly restrictive word list compared to other games; might make it more attractive to some people as I have friends who say that "ZA" sums up everything wrong with scrabble in one word...
- oliwary 5y agoThanks for the feedback! Do you mean in the square itself or the possible guess words? Tried to calibrate the square itself for a good balance between challenge and reasonably common words.
- layer8 5y agoNot the GP, but “April” isn’t in the word list.
- aidenn0 5y agoMany (most?) word games forbid any words that are always capitalized. As either a month or a first name, April is capitalized.
- aidenn0 5y agoPossible guess words. "unlid" and "mirly" are (possibly over-optimized) good second guesses in wordle.
- oliwary 5y agoThat is fair! I feel like those should definitely be allowed. I am using a wordlist based on this: http://wordlist.aspell.net/12dicts-readme/ http://wordlist.aspell.net/12dicts-readme/ which is public domain and has about 6k 5-letter words, compared to the Wordles 12k. If anybody knows any other good royalty free wordlists I would definitely be interested. :)
- aidenn0 5y agohttps://github.com/elasticdog/yawl https://github.com/elasticdog/yawl is fairly standard for word-games. [edit] Seems possible that wordle uses it given the 12k number: grep '^.....$' word.list|wc -l 12036
- oliwary 5y agoThank you so much aidenn0! This looks great, will integrate it in the next update.

- saurik 5y agoThis forces you to type extremely slowly to the point where it feels super awkward :(.
- oliwary 5y agoHmm odd! Thanks for the feedback. I think it may be related to the material ripple effect on the keys. Pushed an update now that hopefully fixes it.
- tfvlrue 5y agoI've been playing this for a couple weeks now and have really enjoyed it. Well done!
- oliwary 5y agoThank you! I am very glad you are enjoying it.
- danparsonson 5y agoReally nice but... surely 'Squardle'? :-)
- madcaptenor 5y agoThere was already a Squardle: https://fubargames.se/squardle/ https://fubargames.se/squardle/
- danparsonson 5y agoAh well there we go; wow that one is confusing... edit: ...but interesting!
- MattRix 5y agoYeah squardle is convoluted but feels surprisingly satisfying to solve.
- madcaptenor 5y agoIt took me a few tries to get it but I'm pretty into it now.
- sand500 5y agoHeh, I got this as a interview question years ago. Given a list of words, see if there exists a valid 5x5 square of words.
- te 5y agoI think this (squareword) would be even more fun with a toggle button to transpose the square.
- hexciple 5y agoBeen playing this one for a while, and I love it. I know it won't always line up this way, but the other day I was able to fill in 4 remaining words with 3 guesses and finished with a score of 8, felt great.
- guelo 5y agoNice job! One thing, I don't like that plurals are possible answers. The original let you guess plurals but no answers were plurals.
