UNV
LRS
AWI
LASCIVIOUS
Breakdown of the Solution:
NARWHAL
-
Starts with N (from UNV side).
-
Then uses A, R, W, H, L — all valid letters from different sides.
-
Ends on L, which connects perfectly to the next word.
LASCIVIOUS
-
Starts with L (ending letter of the first word).
-
Then moves through A, S, C, I, V, I, O, U, S — all valid transitions using different sides of the box.
-
This word completes the required cycle while following all puzzle rules.
How It Flows:
-
The transition from NARWHAL to LASCIVIOUS is smooth because L ends the first word and begins the second.
-
Together, these two words use all 12 unique letters on the box once, which is the main goal of Letter Boxed.
Why This is a Smart Solution:
-
Only two words used, an efficient solution.
-
All rules are followed: no repeating sides for consecutive letters, correct chaining, and complete letter usage.
-
Words like “LASCIVIOUS” aren’t commonly used, so spotting them adds extra challenge.
