How these numbers work
An attempt starts with your first input. Completed ÷ started gives the win rate, including unfinished attempts. A streak counts consecutive completed practice attempts; starting another attempt after an unfinished one breaks it. It is not a daily streak.
Word counts and average scores use completed attempts. Each attempt records its first win once, including after Undo, Redo or reloading. Every full solve earns 220 points, so fewer words is the useful performance comparison. Restart opens a new attempt on the same board.

Dictionary & word rules
274,014 English entries, including inflections and uncommon words. Words must contain at least three letters, use this board, alternate sides, and continue the previous word. Source: word-list 4.1.0 (MIT), plus the verified entry JAILBROKEN. This is an independent word list, not the official NYT dictionary; no dictionary contains every possible English word.
Enter the letters on their original sides
Enter three unique letters in each field: top, right, bottom and left. Keep the groups as they appear on your board. Changing which letters share a side changes which words are possible.
Understand your solutions
A valid result uses only the entered letters, changes sides between consecutive letters and covers all 12 letters. For a two-word chain, the first word’s final letter starts the second word.
The solver reports how many playable words and one- or two-word solutions it found. It displays up to 30 solutions. The display limit does not mean there are only 30 possible solutions.
Why no solution was found
Check each side for a typing error first. If the board is correct, no result means that the search found no one- or two-word chain in this dictionary. A longer chain may still work.
This solver does not search three-word or longer chains. It cannot prove a board is impossible after a two-word search.
Dictionary and word acceptance
Our independent word list includes inflections and uncommon words. It is not the official NYT dictionary, and a returned word may not be accepted by another game. Read how our dictionary works for the source and validation rules.
Can you solve Letter Boxed in one word?
A one-word solution must contain every board letter and obey the side rule throughout. Whether one exists depends on the board and the dictionary. The solver checks single words as well as pairs.
