Squeeze/squoze/squozen. No reason why it shouldn't be a word. English is an evolving language and if everyone here made an effort to use the word "squoze", particularly in print, we'd have it in the dictionary by the end of the decade.
I'm willing to wait my turn, but let's see if we cannot also campaign for Sneeze/snoze/snoozen.

If you've used the word 'Squoze' for squeezed, it is your problem.
It is not accepted in the English Speaking world. There is no such word in English dictionary & approved usage.
To err is your prerogative & people would look down upon you for this mistake which exhibits poor knowldege of English. That's all.
In poems, you can use it to suit a rhyming scheme. In that case one has some liberty & not otherwise.

No, it's not a word, the past tense is squeezed. Just like the past tense of sneak isn't snuck, it's sneaked.

No, I'm sorry, sqouze is not a word. But, both "squoosh" and "squush," meaning to squash, is. Hope this helps!

no, but I like it. Squeezed is the correct past tense.

It's not in the dictionary, but I've heard and read others use "squoze" and "squozen." I like it, personally.
