Here are the Letter Boxed July 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:
BNRCHZEMLAIO
The answers are:
HARMONICAABLAZE
Oa. Quickie.
Surprised to find this was the OA… from the Sonny Boy Williamson(s) to John Popper… and if the music gets too hot you can always quench the fire a bit at the raindrop potluck.
tacking to end of MVUA’s line “where the BANJO OUTWEIGHs with a HARMONICA ABLAZE” … stringing together three recent puzzles … 😎🐝
also:
AEROBICIZE ENHARMONICAL°
Some other curiosities (to me) about today’s puzzle:
AMAZON is a word
ZANZIBAR is not
ERIE as in the city or lake is “not a word”, but LIMA as in Lima Peru is a word.
So, LIMA is a word.
And BEAN is a word.
But LIMABEAN is “not a word”.
😎🐝
Economizer Enhanced
Economize Enhanced
I too found the OA Harmonica Ablaze, in the same dumpster fire as the banjo and accordion from Friday. Also Caliber / Bicolor Reharmonize (something to do with the Olympic opening ceremonies?), Harmonize Ecbolic (singing through the contractions?), and Harmonizer Reclimb and Balancer Rhizomic (strange doings in the garden).
Climber Reharmonize. Wasn’t sure about Reharmonize but LB accept it.
Will there be a big range of solutions today?
similar CALIBER-REHARMONIZE. ALIOW.
ALIOW indeed. I was happy to take Reharmonize because it’s easy to stick -er on the end of many words.
Couldn’t be bothered with much effort today (even though it’s a nice enough grid).
CALIBER, REHARMONIZE
Ditto! Knew it was a bit clunky and not likely to be the OA, but I’ll take the quick win. Off to watch Olympics – so love seeing the world come together to support human beings give their heart and soul while pushing themselves beyond what seems possible!
I got BICOLOR REHARMONIZE
I found a similar unique answer:
Harmonizer – Reclimb
Also found: Ceramic, Ice cream, (Icecreamcone not accepted), Crazier, Hambone, Canonical, Canonize, Mobilizer, Recolonize, Combine, Calzone.
Also found both:
Normalizer
Renormalize
with just BCH left.
Did anyone pair either?
Also found
Hambone – Economizer (L left)
Normalizer-Rhombic
ECONOMIZER — RHOMBICAL works
Went with the very similar CLAMBER-REHARMONIZE. Not too painful today.
I missed a 2 word solution yesterday. Found several 3 wordrrs though.
For today I have
HARMONIZER RHOMBICAL
In about 45 minutes.
Also
ZANIER RHOMBICAL
Which is quite a bit more efficient
Same
Same here!
OA. Haven’t had success in a while!
MOBILIZE – ENHANCER
ditto
Same
NORMALIZER – RHOMBIC
RHOMBIC CANALIZE. CANALIZE was a guess. Didn’t take too long but it was enough of a challenge to be fun.
Same here…pure “try it and see”!
HARMONIZE – ECBOLIC. If Oxytocin doesn’t work, maybe a barbershop quartet will!
Has anyone else been getting “comment awaiting moderation” messages here all of a sudden?
Hey DW – i haven’t had any today or lately, but a few weeks ago i did get that notice when i pasted in more than one weblink.
😎
Rhombic Calzone
Haha, good one Kate. Something you brought to the potluck perhaps? 😋
I mean KAY
No worries Original Steph. Definitely an idea for my next potluck although I think the shape would be technically more challenging!
Colonizer
Rhombical
Same here.
This is a particularly tasty solution, Kay!
Balancer reharmonize
Balancer – Rhizomic
zanier/rhombical !
Same here!
Me too!
Me too!
I guess I got it backwards
Harmonizer rebalance
That’s what we got, too! I was *so* excited to get it, this one felt like very hard work.
OA. Quick.
At least we’re not on bread and water today.
Mobilize Enhancer too
MINERALIZER — RHOMBICAL
As predicted, today’s array had a plethora of answers after a bunch of single solution grids. I found:
BLAZE-ENHARMONIC
(set fire to those redundant notations)
HARMONICA – ABLAZE
(that soloist is really on fire!)
CLIMBER – REHARMONIZE
(being in nature centers you)
ZANIER – RHOMBICAL
(a very wacky geometry class)
NORMALIZER – RHOMBIC
(making that geometry class less wacky!)
CARABINER – RHIZOMAL* (definitely a word but not accepted by Letter Boxd NYT)
Horizontal linkage!
Balancer – Rhizomic
Yes, this was mine too, along with ABLAZE–ENHARMONIC (a little too close to the OA).
BLAZE / ENHARMONIC here…
Balancer Rhizomic
OA
Mobilize Enhancer
Bilinear -> Rhizomic
I was just perusing the page. At the bottom it lists “tips” for gameplay. One says “Don’t be afraid to use the hint system. If players get stuck on a particular level, they can use the hint system to reveal a word. However, using hints will reduce their overall score, so they should use them sparingly.”
What hint system?
Perhaps this is something only available to those with a premium subscription or particular sub to the “Games” (which I don’t have—i just have a regular subscription to the NYT)
Yeah, I read that some months back and suspected that there may be different levels (?) I started like everyone else just trying to get a solve in the suggested number of words and then tried fewer and fewer until the two word solutions.
Hey, Sir BILL DUFFIN,
That is how I started solving LB too. 😅
When I discovered the: Solution to yesterday’s puzzle, which is only two words. That’s when I started solving it in two words.
Bonzer Rhombical
cozener rhombical
Nice! I used COZEN as part of a solve a few months back, and totally forgot about it.
I have a unique solution, it seems! HORMONAL-LIBERALIZE
Oh. No C. 😔
immediate, first try: harmonize, ecbolic
RHOMBICAL – LINEARIZE
I don’t think I saw this geometric answer.
My brain saw criminalize first:
Rhombic – Criminalize
Mobilize enhancer
Caliber Reharmonize my answer today.
😎
RHOMBIC-CRIMINALIZE for me. I haven’t seen anyone else get criminalize yet, but I wish I’d seen CALZONE!

I’ve been trying to post several times today and the posts never show up. There is no error message, it’s just that they never complete.
Thank you.
Same!
I forgot to post this yesterday…
