About this Letter Boxed

The Tuesday, September 22, 2026 board put LTO, CRM, YHA, FPE on its four sides. Every word has to alternate sides — no two consecutive letters from the same side — and each new word starts with the last letter of the previous one. Par was 4 words; finishing in two is the classic flex, and the table above shows whether that was possible.
