How to Play Letter Boxed

Letter Boxed is a word puzzle played on a square with three letters on each side (12 letters total). Form words by connecting letters, then chain those words until every letter has been used at least once.

Basic Rules

• Words must be at least 3 letters long.
• No two consecutive letters from the same side — you must alternate sides as you spell.
• Letters may be reused across different words, but your goal is to cover all 12 unique letters on the board.
• Chain words: the last letter of one word becomes the first letter of the next (for example, CAT → TREE → ENTER).

How to Win

You win when every letter on the board appears in at least one of your accepted words. Solving in fewer words is a harder, more satisfying challenge — try for two- or three-word solutions when you can.

Controls

• Click or tap letters on the board (or type A–Z on a keyboard) to build a word.
• Enter submits the word if it is valid.
• Delete removes the last letter of your current word.
• Restart clears progress on the same puzzle; New Game deals a fresh board.
