## What is Big Square by Quickthorn Games?

Big Square combines crossword-style clues with sliding letter tiles. But slide carefully! In Big Square, you can slide each tile once before using it in a word, so you’ll want to think a few moves ahead as you plan the best strategy to clear the board.

Big Square has five modes:
- Puzzles: We scrambled words in a variety of fun categories. Can you use crossword-style clues to find them and clear the board?
- Daily Challenge: Compete with other Big Square players to clear a full board each day, and share your results on your favorite social network.
- Clear the Board: Try to clear 6x6, 8x8, 10x10, and 12x12 boards with the longest words possible. 
- Countdown: Clear as much as possible as quickly as possible.
- Two Player: Play head-to-head to see who can rack up the highest score taking turns clearing words from the same board.

Enjoy! Big Square includes 70 hand-designed puzzles (some for purchase) with new packs planned for the future. And literally billions of computer-generated full-grid puzzles for endless fun.
