Note:
SquareWords uses its own dictionary containing over 40,000 words of 1-11 letters. The dictionary file is large (0.5MB), so the first time you play the game you may have to wait a while for the file to load.
If you enter a correct English word that is rejected, please send the webmaster an email and the word will be added to the dictionary.
