One field down from the obligatory Crossword and Mini, the Games section of The New York Times publishes three daily word puzzles, the wildly popular Spelling Bee, the phenomenon Wordle, and Letter Boxed, a Godiva among M&M’s.
A Letter Boxed puzzle consists of 12 letters arranged around the four sides of a square, waiting to be combined, dominoes-style, into strings of words. The rules are simple: consecutive letters must come from different sides of the square; the last letter of one word must be the first letter of the next word.
