🎉 What Is Punnett Squareword?

Punnett Squareword is a fun and challenging daily 5x5 word puzzle game that blends the logic of Punnett squares, the wordplay of crosswords, and terms from genetics, science, history, geography, language arts, and more!

Each puzzle tests your knowledge and deduction skills using Across and Down clues that fit perfectly into a 5x5 grid.

🚀 How to Play

🧩 1. Start the Daily Challenge

Each day at midnight, a new puzzle is posted. Just visit the homepage and dive in. Each puzzle is active for one day only.

🔍 2. Read the Clues

You'll get 10 clues total:

• 5 Across clues (left to right)
• 5 Down clues (top to bottom)

Clues may reference:

• Genetics: “Homozygous dominant genotype” → TT
• Science: “Smallest unit of life” → CELL
• Geography: “Longest river in the world” → NILE
• Math: “Shape with three sides” → TRIANGLE
• History: “Civil rights icon” → ROSA
• Language Arts: “Opposite of synonym” → ANTONYM

🎯 3. Fill in the Grid

Click any square to begin typing your word. Use logic to match the clue with a word that fits both:

• The clue meaning
• The grid position (Across or Down)

💡 Words intersect—so one letter may help solve another word!

🧠 4. Use Your Knowledge

Genetics clues may reference Punnett square logic:

• TT → Homozygous dominant
• Tt → Heterozygous
• tt → Homozygous recessive
• Tall → Dominant phenotype
• Short → Recessive trait

🧠 Non-genetics clues cover a wide range of knowledge areas—expand your vocabulary as you play!

✅ 5. Check Feedback

As you fill the grid, letters may change color:

• ✅ Green = Correct letter in correct spot
• 🟡 Yellow = Correct letter, wrong spot
• ❌ Gray = Letter not in the word

Make changes until the entire puzzle is filled with correct words.

🏁 6. Solve the Puzzle

Finish all 5 Across and 5 Down words correctly to complete the game. Your progress is saved automatically—come back any time before midnight to finish.
