Letter Boxed (Word Unscrambler)

Letter Boxed on Word Unscrambler is a browser version of the word puzzle the New York Times made popular. Twelve letters sit around a square, three on each side. You spell words by picking letters, but two letters in a row can never come from the same side, so every word zigzags across the box.

The words form a chain: each new one has to begin with the letter the last one ended on. The board is solved once all 12 letters have been used at least once, and letters may be used again as often as you like. Each puzzle shows a par, the number of words to finish in, and a difficulty label such as Medium. The Daily tab holds one numbered board that is the same for everyone that day; the Practice tab generates random boards to play as many times as you want.

The game needs no account and no subscription, which is the main difference from the original. Statistics for games played, wins, streak and best result are kept in your browser. A finished puzzle can be shared as a result or sent to a friend as a challenge. The page carries Google ads above and below the board.

It suits players who like the NYT Letter Boxed and want a second daily board, or more boards to practise two-word solutions on.
