I'm posting this more for muse. Hello! I don't know if anyone's enjoyed this puzzle on The New York Times website, but I find it rather fun. The rules published on the site are as follows: Connect letters to spell words. Words must be at least 3 letters long. Letters can be reused. Consecutive letters cannot be from the same side.
11. The New York Times hosts a brilliant puzzle called Letter Boxed. The rules of the game are quite simple: Connect letters from the edges of a given square to spell out words at least three letters long. Consecutive letters cannot be from the same side. The last letter of a word becomes the first letter of the next word. Use up all the letters.
Wordle is a game in which you have to guess a 5-letter word. Here's a snip from the New York Times website: Judging the letters is done from left to right. So here is an example that I think covers the corner cases: One of the features of this game is that you can share your game result with the letters hidden.

You wake up, finding yourself sitting in a room you've never seen before. Around the room there are loads of clocks - more than you've ever seen in one place before. There's also some art that resembles Mondrian's works, a world map, and a newspaper page with some ominous words stuck on. The door is locked, only to be released once a three ...
6. Here is a fun little word puzzle. The task, for as many letters of the alphabet as possible, is to find words that have the sound of the name of a letter at the start but which don’t start with that letter.
