    Our purpose is to determine the complete set of mutually orthogonal squares of order dd, which are not necessary Latin. In this article, we introduce the concept of supersquare of order dd, which is defined with the help of its generating subgroup in FdΓ—Fd\mathbb{F}_d\times \mathbb{F}_d. We present a method of construction of the mutually orthogonal supersquares. Further, we investigate the orthogonality of extraordinary supersquares, a special family of squares, whose generating subgroups are extraordinary. The extraordinary subgroups in FdΓ—Fd\mathbb{F}_d\times \mathbb{F}_d are of great importance in the field of quantum information processing, especially for the study of mutually unbiased bases. We determine the most general complete sets of mutually orthogonal extraordinary supersquares of order 4, which consist in the so-called Type I and Type II. The well-known case of dβˆ’1d-1 mutually orthogonal Latin squares is only a special case, namely Type I
