Here there are Letter Boxed April 14, 2023 Answers from New York Times Games. Our solutions and answers are 100% valid and accurate. We suggest to try and solve the game by your own before using the help of our website.
Sides of this Letter Box are:
PREUOHWLTNYA
The answers are:
PLATEAUUNWORTHY
LAWN – NEUROPATHY
Official. Hard to give up on TROPHY , ENTROPY and WALNUT .
Likewise. Tricky transition through U, but W was the first letter I engaged with, so WORTHY -> UNWORTHY came like a flash.
LBF score 9½ (7/12 letters correctly guessed). Next try:
YNC BDK OPT RUA
Official for me too, after giving up on WEAPONRY and NORTHPAW.
I did like the TI for UNLEARN-NORTHPAW-WHY, as far as three-word solutions go…
ENTHALPY is also an option 😛
glad official came to me quickly 🙂
UPTHROWN-NEARLY
Same here. Has a rather victorious sound to it 🙂
Same: UPTHROWN-NEARLY. Has a rather victorious sound to it 🙂
Upthrown Nearly here as well. Almost-but-not-quite thrown up….
I have never heard of upthrown so it didn’t feel like a win to me. I am absolutely glad I am not the only one with this peculiar answer. If four other brilliant minds say it counts as a win. Hooray for us and happy Friday.
Same
Damn right it’s a win! UPTHROWN is a geological word. I proudly display a picture of my kids standing on the San Andreas Fault with upthrown rocks in the background.
Same, under the wire.
UNWRAP POLYETHYLENE
Same. Was sure this would be official answer.
ugh i was looking for this – stuck at POLYPHENOL
Just realised mine was different! Misread your answer.
Unwrap – polythene
Not many birds in the mix. I found NUN & RUNT (pigeons), WHEATEAR, RHEA and LORY.
LAWN – NEUROPATHY. wanted something for POLYPHENOL and UNEARTHLY but alas no luck
Ditto
Same answer as you. Thought it would be the official coz neuropathy seemed so perfect.
I like this one. Landscapers’ Disease, probably from exposure to pesticides…
I found lawn – neuropathy, I thought it might even be the official , ha.
same

New word for me: HWYL
Thanks for HWYL. That’s new for me too.
Cool word, never heard of it. Playable in Scrabble, too, so I will have to remember it when vowels are scarce. How did you find it, Mark?
I was trying all combinations.
I was just replying to you on another thread.
Did you mean (Y/T) in regards to the Yellowthroat?
Otherwise I’m confused on that.
Thanks.
Wow, do you have a script or something that tries all combinations?
The W/T was meant to indicate that those two letters appear on the same side of the box, thus thwarting YELLOWTHROAT.
I as well got neuropath – hwyl
Another quick official today, so I played around a bit and also found LAWN – NEUROPATHY, which sounds like a Monsanto lawsuit in waiting.
Today’s birds: NENE, TEAL, PARULA (almost hit NORTHERN PARULA, which would have been awesome, but R and E clash), RHEA, WHEATEAR, and, if double letters are allowed, PARROT, POTOO, and LOON. Other good near misses that I will keep an eye out for in the future include PHALAROPE (P/E) in the singles and YELLOWTHROAT (W/T) in the doubles.

Not sure why this reply to Mark showed up here… 🤔
well, mine is right behind you, so we’re good. 🙂
Ah, I see now. I knew I was overthinking it. I thought you were indicating the first and last letters of the word; as in P and E for PHALAROPE (P/E), for future linking to other words, regardless of current letter placements.
Yes I program in Python. I’m trying to build something today that finds words in play, and then reports back the Unicode character, if one exists. So far I have a couple dozen; Greek alphabet, Planets, Zodiac symbols, etc… I’m still hunting for your birds, and I’ve learned quite a few from your expertise! Unicode has interested me for awhile and I want more proficiency with it, from a code perspective.
Very ambitious! Which word list are you using?
Learning Python is on my to-do list. I wrestled Perl to the ground several years ago and then the universe abandoned it. 🙄
Oh Perl! the Swiss Army Knife. Love it. I learned Perl before Python. I am drowning in lists, lists within lists, it seems. 🙂 I grabbed some Latin stuff but that’s resisting me. But “the problems worthy of attack prove their worth by fighting back!” Happy Friday, DW. 🙂
Official
Good to see entropy and enthalpy are both possible. For the science nerds.
Good eyes AJ! I saw them in there but couldn’t pair them.
Whale entropy yup as close as i could get
Still looking for Spondulix (or Spondulicks or other alternate spelling) after all this time… Well, Syzygy finally showed up, so hope is alive!
Official.
Oh, thank the Lord! I’ve been misfiring all week, so I was beside myself with joy to find LAWN-NEUROPATHY. Nearly settled with the one-shy UNWORTHY-YELP, but I persevered via NEURAL, NEUTRAL, NOTEWORTHY and ATROPHY. Roll on the weekend!
OPULENT—THRAWNLY
That second word almost seems made-up (from some collaboration by Dr. Seuss and Lewis Carroll ?). While it’s not accepted by LB, it is indeed a PSW, and in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Normally, I’d fish around for another solution, but today is a long day for me. So I’ll take this one, eat my vegetables, and call it a win.
There’s also a kind of TI here, as opulence often does spill over into ‘thrawnliness.’
LAWN – NEUROPATHY here after giving up on UNEARTHLY, UNWORTHY, ENTROPY, NOTEWORTHY.
Took a while, but just chillin’ on a sunny, warm Friday afternoon 🙂
Ok, I wasn’t going to go here today, but while I was solving, I noticed that LB rejected NONLETHAL. So weird.
That omission also stuck out to me. 🤔
upthrown – nearly
Lowen neuropathy
🙂
Lawn Neuropathy
Me too!
