Here are the Letter Boxed February 28, 2024 Answers from New York Times Games. Our solutions and answers are 100% valid and accurate. We suggest trying to solve the game on your own before using the help of our website.
Sides of this Letter Box are:
SRHBVTECYAPI
The answers are:
BATHYSPHEREEVICT
OA.
OA for me after spending too much time trying to make hyperactive or hyperactivity work. Well done to those who found casbah!
BRAVES-SPHERICITY
braves – sphericity as well
VIBRATES SPHERICITY (earthquake)
I found…
[ REVIBRATES ~ SPHERICITY ]
2 extra, unneeded letters, but I found revibrates first.
Also found…
privates, reactivates, arbitrary,
arbitrates, britches, hierarchy,
hierarchies, heartaches,
researchers, pravity,
Hyperbaric Cavities
Me, too
Same
HYPERBARIC – CAVEATS…
Full of hot air and empty promises.
HYPERBARIC CREATIVES. Spent way too much time on hyperactivity hyperactive hyperactivities
CASBAH – HYPERACTIVE
The Clash techno remix. Also, feels great ro finally use CASBAH, which pops out often and then goes nowhere.
Well done! Not being able to pair hyperactive is what led me to my answer. Glad to see it work! (But I’ll stick with the Combat Rock mix)
Same here.
Was thinking “Sharif don’t like it”
Found HYPERACTIVE (HYPERACTIVITY) quickly, and was determined to make the two remaining letters work. I really marvel at the brains of those who found the OA.
As for The Clash, I always thought they were singing “stock the cash bar . . .”
Nice. Kept contorting myself around hyperactive, tried on vain to make the S, H, and B work.
CASBAH HYPERACTIVE
Casbah Hyperactive was my best as well, but there’s a ton of answers today – the flip side of yesterday’s one-off. I also had Hyperbaric Cavities, Vibraharps Septicity, and Hyperactive Ephebes.
And I’m sure you found BREVITY—YACHTS with one letter left.
I certainly noticed the Yacht, but abandoned it as unpairable…
VIBRAHARPS—STRETCHY
Hold that note! 🎵
I thought I’d be the only one with this solution! 😄 I certainly knew it wasn’t the OA
Although what the actual OA turn out to be isn’t less obscure
Word Play:
11 letters:
_u_ _ _u_ _ _on
Clue: It is a part of a sentence.
punctuation
Correct! JO, sweetheart! ❤️
Brilliant!
HYPERBARIC – CIVETS?
Schrödinger’s Wildcat?
😂
HYPERBARIC CAVITIES
HYPERBARIC-CAVITIES also. The next antiaging spa offering?
Same here and very painful.
Same.
ABSTRACTIVE—EPHYRA
thoughtful jellyfish ?
SEABEACH*—HYPERACTIVE
☕
Hyperactive ephebes
Hyperactive – ephebes
I’m both surprised and confused to find SCHAV isn’t an accepted word. Otherwise my solution would have been PRESBYTERIES – SCHAV
Instead I got VIBRAHARPS – STRETCHY. Clearly the strings have to have an appropriate amount of elasticity to play properly!
Mammals found in today’s array, allowing for double letters:
Akita, Caracal, Cat, Chi Chi, Chinchilla, Chinook, Coati, Dik-Dik, Indri, Koala, Kodkod, Lion, Lykoi Cat, Nyala, Raccoon, Rat, Takin, Yak.
☕☕
Oops no K, will correct asap
Corrected. Program was fine, it was me, been up most of the night programming. Anyway that’s my story and I’m sticking with it. 🙂
Arctic Hare, Barbet, Bat, Bear, Beaver, Cat, Cave Bear, Cheetah, Chi Chi, Hare, Hartebeest, Ibis, Rabbit, Rat, Rat Terrier, Terrier
And Harrier, which is a dog as well as a bird!
I only found these animal names it today’s word list. (I asked Gemini)
bear
bearcat
beaver
cat
rat
I saw Harrier, Bernie, but forgot it was a dog also. Good catch!
I was stuck in a pattern of pairs that work but wouldn’t link w/o an unnecessary word in the middle: PREACHES-STAB-BREVITY, PHYSICIST-TAB-BRAVE, and more. . . Also wanted to do something with Prevaricates.
And thus, today’s lesson in delayed gratification. 🙂
Same with prevaricates. Also architraves.
Really wanted architraves to work. Ended up with oa.
That would have been nice. I finally got the ARBITER I asked for but it didn’t fit a two words solution.
Hyperbaric/cravats.
Same here. Only knew what a CRAVAT was from the Carly Simon song, “You’re So Vain.”
HYPERBARIC / CRAVATS too.
Thank goodness the OA isn’t the only answer because I would never have gotten BATHYSPHERE. Came up with VIBRATES – SPHERICITY and knew it wasn’t the most efficient, but came to it rather quickly so taking the win for the day.
Vibraharps/stretchy – giving up on “-avity” and “-ative” after far too long.
Looked for words ending in ‘sphere’ but couldn’t find any. Never heard of BATHYSPHERE before. Ended up with a 3: PRESCRIBE EVERY YACHT.
Also found: BATCHES, BRITCHES, CHASTISES/CHASTITY, PREVERBS, SCARCITY, BREVITY, PHYSIC, VIBRATES, PRITCHES, ARCHERY, STRETCHER, RE/STRICT/ER, PEACHERY/IES, TREACHERY/IES, SCARABS,
PRIVATISE/S/R, and TRACHEAS.
Wow. First time I’ve had an answer somebody hasn’t posted here – ABRASIVES-SPHERICITY. Also STARBIRTH-HYPERACTIVE.
Casbah Hyperactive
Tourists with only one day in Marrakech.
Braves-Sphericity!
Just came be chance at Spehericity.. Else it was pretty hard today!
I got this one too and felt about the same!
Vertebrates-sphericity
Bathyspheres Scrive* (it’s in MW but chiefly Scottish although Scrive board is also in it)
First guess then OA
HYPERBARIC CAVEATS
(for scuba divers).
This took for effin ever. So many words!
HYPERACTIVE * EPHEBES
A hyperactive Greek male adolescent !
Hyperbaric cavities
Vibrates Sphericity
BATCH / HIVES / SPRY
ARCHIVES – SYBARITIC – CREPT
That’s all folks after spending way too long on this.

OA for the fifth day in a row. Considering the ambivalent feelings I have towards Ezersky’s solutions most days, I’m not thrilled by the apparent mind-meld I find myself in. 😅
Another 13/2 entry is
BRAVEST TYPHIC
LB doesn’t like Typhic and it doesn’t seem to be a PSW but it is listed as an adjective in the online OED and the online Merriam-Webster dictionary.
