For a while there I was two-solving Letterboxed on an almost daily basis, but it regularly took 20-30 minutes to do. I couldn't bear to three-solve it knowing a two-word solution existed, so I hut a stretch where I started not finishing and just looking up the solution the next day. For many of these, the two-word solutions required words that were so far on the fringes of my vocabulary that I knew I would have never gotten them. Now I only spend about 5-10 minutes on it and if I don't think I'm onto anything by then, I move on with my day.

I studied and played Scrabble at a pretty high level. And unlike Spelling Bee, Letterbox accepts all the weird Scrabble words which makes it a lot easier for me. I’ll usually look at it for 10-15 minutes a day and if I can’t get a 2-word solve I just give up and move on to other things.

I think there’s even been 2 days with a 1-word solve!
