Letter Boxed is a daily word puzzle game from The New York Times where players connect letters arranged in a square to form words. Each side of the square contains three letters, and players must form words by connecting letters from different sides.

How to Play

• Connect letters to form words by tracing paths on the square
• Each new word must start with the last letter of the previous word
• Use every letter at least once to complete the puzzle
• Letters can be reused within a word, but each letter must be used at least once across all words
• Find the shortest solution possible (par is typically 2-3 words)
• Words must be valid dictionary words

Strategy Tips

• Look for common letter combinations that bridge different sides
• Plan your sequence to ensure all letters are used
• Shorter solutions are better - aim for 2-word solutions when possible
• Consider which letters appear on multiple sides for flexibility
