To solve the puzzle, we need to count all the squares formed by the grid, including those of different sizes. Let's analyze step by step:

Squares of size 1x1:

The grid has 4 rows and 4 columns, making $ 4 \times 4 = 16 $ small squares.

Squares of size 2x2:

There are 3 rows and 3 columns of 2x2 squares, so $ 3 \times 3 = 9 $ medium squares.

Squares of size 3x3:

There are 2 rows and 2 columns of 3x3 squares, so $ 2 \times 2 = 4 $.

Squares of size 4x4:

There is 1 large 4x4 square that spans the entire grid.
