Letter Boxed is a word game popularized by the New York Times website (and the advent of Wordle).
Presented in the form of a square with 3 letters per side, the player must compose words in order to use all the letters in the square in its answer.
Example:
A | B | C | ||
L | D | |||
K | E | |||
J | F | |||
I | H | G |
The player must communicate with the letters on the sides to form words while respecting a few rules: words must be at least 3 letters long, words must be connected (the last letter of the previous word must be the same as the next word), letters can be reused but 2 consecutive letters cannot be on the same side of the square.

Indicate the letters on each side of the squares, the order of the letters is not essential, but ideally, from left to right for the letters at the top and bottom of the square and from top to bottom for the letters on the right sides and left of the square.
Then indicate the dictionary used: some words are not accepted by the game even though they do exist in the dictionary.

There is always a solution in 2 words or less, so use the full dictionary if common words do not provide solutions.
— Start by forming common words, then see if these words could be formed by extending them with prefixes or suffixes.
— Look up how to use unusual letters such as J, Q or Z, as they are likely used in only one word.
— If there is an S in the game, use it as the end and beginning of a word, almost all plural words end with S and many words start with S.
— Use dCode to improve your vocabulary and find answers quickly to Letter Boxed.
Beginner players will often find solutions in 4 or even 3 words, but the ultimate goal is to achieve a resolution in 2. However, forming an answer with as few words as possible using all the letters around the square remains statistically difficult, because this requires an expanded vocabulary.
