About Today's NYT Letter Boxed

NYT Letter Boxed presents 12 letters arranged on 4 sides of a square (3 letters per side). Form words by connecting letters, but each new letter must be on a different side from the previous one. The last letter of each word becomes the first letter of the next — chain them together to use all 12 letters in as few words as possible.

How to Use These Letter Boxed Hints

Letters Display: The game card shows today's 12 letters arranged across 4 sides.
Level 1 — Gentle Hint: The par score (target number of words) and general strategy tip.
Level 2 — Directional Hint: The actual sides revealed and confirmation of how many words the optimal solution uses.
Reveal Solution: The complete 2-word (or 3-word) solution, hidden behind a spoiler warning.

Letter Boxed Strategy Tips

Look for long words that use letters from multiple different sides — they do more work for you. The key constraint is that you can't use two letters from the same side consecutively. Try to find a word that ends with a letter that starts a second word covering most remaining letters.
