Facet -- Daily Word Square Puzzle

Facet is a free daily word puzzle where you fill a 5x5 grid so that every row and column forms a valid word. The twist? The grid is symmetric -- the same letters read across and down. A new puzzle is published every day.

How to Play Facet

Complete the grid so every row and column is a valid word. Because the square is symmetric, the letter in row 2 column 3 is always the same as row 3 column 2. Use the indicator dots beside each row and above each column to check your progress -- they turn green when a word is correct and red when it is not.

You get 3 free hints per puzzle if you get stuck. A new Facet puzzle is available every day at midnight UTC.

What is a Word Square?

A word square is a grid of letters where the same words can be read both horizontally and vertically. Word squares have a long history in recreational mathematics and puzzle design, dating back to the ancient Roman SATOR square. Facet brings this classic puzzle format into a modern daily game.
