About this Letter Boxed
The Tuesday, November 10, 2026 board put ETO, HRA, VUI, NCQ 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 6 words; finishing in two is the classic flex, and the table above shows whether that was possible.
