About this Letter Boxed

The Thursday, October 15, 2026 board put FST, IEU, OHK, VCR 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.
