October 11th, 2022 – Lightwood Games is thrilled to announce details of their latest word game, Letterbox by POWGI.

Letterbox is a game of anagrams and logical reasoning. The letters from a nine-letter word must be rearranged and placed into the middle of a 5×5 grid so that it forms six five-letter words. There’s just one correct answer that spells valid English words in all directions.

Letterbox by POWGI features 120 unique puzzles and, as always, the puzzles are hand-crafted and checked to ensure a pleasant and satisfying solving experience.

In typical POWGI style, the “reward” for solving each puzzle is a terrible “dad joke”.

The game will be released on Tuesday 11th October on PlayStation, Thursday 13th October on Switch and Friday 14th October on Xbox.
