About Letter Boxed
Twelve letters, three on each side of a square. Make words by connecting letters — but you can't use two letters from the same side in a row. Each new word starts with the last letter of the previous one. Goal: use all 12 letters in as few words as possible.
How to Play
- Tap letters to build a word (must be 3+ letters)
- Consecutive letters must come from DIFFERENT sides of the box
- Submit your word when it's complete
- Your next word must START with your last word's final letter
- Keep going until all 12 letters are used
Tips & Strategy
- Long words are gold — they cover more letters and unlock easier follow-ups
- Plan ahead: pick first words that end with versatile letters (S, R, E, T)
- If you're stuck, scan for vowels — most word starts need one early
- Don't be afraid to undo and try a different approach
Brain Benefits
Letter Boxed forces planning, constraint satisfaction, and creative word retrieval — three executive function skills working together. It's also surprisingly addictive once you get into the rhythm.
