Squaredle uses the official North American Scrabble Players word list (NWL2020). Only words in that list are valid (apart from a handful of other words that are longer than Scrabble's 15-character limit).
Only lowercase English words are valid in Squaredle. Proper nouns and adjectives, such as "Dane", "Santa", or "Irish", are not valid. Abbreviations, initialisms, nonstandard words, hyphenated words, and parts of multi-word terms (e.g. "diem" from "per diem") are also invalid, unless they're found in NWL2020 as standalone words.
You might see some words in Squaredle that look like proper nouns — that means they're also valid lowercase words, e.g. panama hat, lima bean, fine china.
