Letter Boxed Solver

A Letter Boxed solver finds word chains that use all 12 letters around a square, where each word starts with the previous word's last letter and no two letters in a row come from the same side. Enter the three letters on each side to get the shortest chains first, usually two words.

Enter the three letters on each side of the square. You get the shortest solutions first, usually two words.

Letters on each side

The order of letters within a side does not matter.

How the solver works

  1. It finds every word of three or more letters that uses only the 12 letters and never takes two letters in a row from the same side.
  2. It chains words where each one starts with the last letter of the one before.
  3. It keeps chains that use all 12 letters, and lists the shortest first: one word if one exists, then two-word pairs, then three-word chains.

Select a solution to trace its path on the square.

Letter Boxed rules, briefly

  • Connect letters to spell words of at least three letters.
  • Consecutive letters cannot come from the same side.
  • The last letter of each word becomes the first letter of the next.
  • Use every letter at least once. Fewer words is a better score.

Questions

Why does the game reject a word the solver suggests?

The official game uses its own dictionary. Common words are listed first because they are the most likely to be accepted. If a solution is rejected, try the next one in the list.

No two-word solution was found. What now?

Some puzzles have no two-word answer in this dictionary. The solver then looks for three-word chains. Ticking Include uncommon words can also surface a shorter answer.

Is this the official Letter Boxed?

No. Letter Boxed is a game by The New York Times. This is an independent helper tool and is not affiliated with it.
