The Wednesday box, todays par, spoiler free hints, and the official NYT solution chain when you are ready.

HINTS, NO SPOILERS
The official NYT solution uses 2 words
Word lengths: 8 and 5 letters, starting with V, Y
HOW LETTER BOXED WORKS
Twelve letters sit around a square, three per side. Build words by connecting letters, but consecutive letters can never come from the same side. Each new word must start with the last letter of the previous one, and you win by using all twelve letters. The par is the NYT target word count, and beating it is the real flex. Play at nytimes.com.
