Enter a Letter Boxed board

Put the three letters from each side into its own box. This solver uses Xfire's broad word list to surface valid board words and two-word chains that cover all 12 letters.

Recommended format: one side per box. The solver normalizes case and ignores spaces, but each side still needs exactly three letters.
