Letter Boxed Puzzle Breakdown

In the New York Times Letter Boxed game, you’re given 12 letters, placed on the four sides of a square (three letters per side). The rules are:

  • You must make words at least 3 letters long.

  • You can only connect letters from different sides (not from the same side).

  • Your solution must be a word chain: the last letter of one word becomes the first letter of the next.

  • You must use all 12 letters at least once across your solution.

Puzzle Sides Given:

  • Side 1: R, C, I

  • Side 2: L, W, E

  • Side 3: J, Z, T

  • Side 4: Y, A, D

You need to use these 12 letters to create a loop of connected words.

Correct Answer: WIZARD → DEJECTEDLY

Let’s break down how this works:

🔹 Word 1: WIZARD

  • Starts with: W (from side 2)

  • Ends with: D (from side 4)

  • Uses letters: W, I, Z, A, R, D

🔹 Word 2: DEJECTEDLY

  • Starts with: D (last letter of “WIZARD” – a valid chain)

  • Ends with: Y

  • Uses letters: D, E, J, E, C, T, E, D, L, Y

Between both words, you’ve used every letter from the puzzle at least once:

  • R, C, I, L, W, E, J, Z, T, Y, A, D ✅

Word Chain Explanation

  • The chain starts with “WIZARD”, ending in D.

  • Then continues to “DEJECTEDLY”, starting with that same D.

  • This makes it a valid solution with just two words, the shortest possible!

Why It’s a Good Solution

  • Efficient: Only two words used.

  • Clever: The word choices are not only correct but creative.

  • Fulfills all the game rules.

Fun Vocabulary Notes:

  • WIZARD: A person who practices magic.

  • DEJECTEDLY: In a sad or dispirited manner, a powerful emotional word.
