Players draw two cards and discard one with the goal of forming one word of at least 7 letters and all other cards in hand (if any) forming a word or words of at least 3 letters each. Using the colorful alphabetical card deck published to play Quiddler ("The Short Word Game"), Squiddler is for players who enjoy a challenge with longer words. The name of the game is a portmanteau word combining "Seven" and "Quiddler."
