Need a nudge? Five graduated hints
Hint 1 How many words Reveal
There are 30 words to find on today’s board, and every one is between four and seven letters long. Nothing shorter than four counts.
Hint 2 The length spread Reveal
By length: 20 four-letter words, 6 fives, 3 sixs and 1 seven. The four-letter words are where most solvers build momentum.
Hint 3 The busiest letter Reveal
Six of the 30 words start with the letter D — more than any other opener. Work the cluster around that square and the list fills quickly.
Hint 4 The long words Reveal
Four words run to six letters or more, including one of seven letters. They almost always thread through squares the grid lets you reach by more than one route.
Hint 5 The longest word Reveal
The longest answer is seven letters and begins R‑E‑L. Trace outward from those three squares and it falls into place.

Today’s board reads T E I D / A D S E / E L N D / N R A Y. Every word below traces a path of adjacent letters — including diagonals — using each square at most once.
How Squaredle works
Squaredle is a daily word hunt on a small letter grid — today a full 4×4. You build a word by tracing a path of adjacent squares: each next letter must touch the previous one horizontally, vertically or diagonally, and no square may be reused within a single word. Every word is at least four letters.
The aim is completeness, not a single answer: you are trying to uncover all the words the grid can spell. That is why a solver is so useful here — it walks every path from every starting square, so the list below is exhaustive. Longer words almost always thread through squares the grid lets you reach by more than one route.

Learned the method? Now race the grid.
The trick to today’s grid was resisting the urge to cash in the easy four-letter words and stop. AREA, DATE, DEAL come quickly, but they sit on top of a deeper vein — the letter D alone opens six answers, and the longer words thread out from that cluster.
RELATED, the seven-letter answer, runs across the board and is the one most solvers miss; 4 words in all reach six letters or more. If you stalled short of the full 30, you were in good company.
