Letter Boxed

Letter Boxed is a word puzzle built around a square board with twelve letters, three on each side.

🎯 What Makes Letter Boxed Different from Other Word Games?

Most word games ask you to guess a word or find words inside a grid. Letter Boxed asks you to build a chain where every word connects to the next and uses letters from across the board. That mix of chaining and board coverage is what sets it apart from Wordle, Spelling Bee, or a standard crossword. You are not just thinking about one word.
