Let’s break down how the NYT Letter Boxed puzzle with the sides:

  • Top (first row): K, C, A

  • Right (second column): O, Z, N

  • Bottom (third row): R, E, W

  • Left (fourth column): B, H, Y

Answer: WORKBENCH → HAZY

Step-by-step Explanation:

Rules of the Puzzle:

  • You must make words using letters from the outer edges.

  • Each word must use at least three letters.

  • You cannot use consecutive letters from the same side.

  • The last letter of one word must be the first letter of the next.

  • The goal is to use all 12 letters at least once.

First Word: WORKBENCH

  • W (bottom)

  • O (right)

  • R (bottom)

  • K (top)

  • B (left)

  • E (bottom)

  • N (right)

  • C (top)

  • H (left)

This long word uses the following letters:

W, O, R, K, B, E, N, C, H

That’s 9 unique letters used out of 12.

Second Word: HAZY

Starts with H, which is the last letter of “WORKBENCH” (required rule).

  • H (left)

  • A (top)

  • Z (right)

  • Y (left)

This word uses the remaining 3 letters: A, Z, Y.

Final Notes:

  • Total letters used: All 12 (K, C, A, O, Z, N, R, E, W, B, H, Y)

  • Words used: 2

  • Chain: WORKBENCH ➝ HAZY

This is an efficient two-word solution where both words follow the rules and cover every edge letter at least once.
