There are 6 squares in the plane that have two or more vertices on dots in the grid.
To visualize this, you can see that there are 2 squares of size 1x1, 2 squares of size 2x2, and 2 squares of size 3x3 that can be formed by connecting the dots in the grid. Each of these squares have two or more vertices on dots in the grid.
There is a 2x3 plane made up of dots.

All these dots are an equal distance from their nearest neighbors. How many squares in the plane have two or more vertices on dots in this grid?
