I love the brackets on this envelope and need to start an official place where I park the ideas that I want to try. Thank you, Ming.

When I first added this game to the post - I was getting it for free every day. Then it went to subscription only. Then it went to one-play-per-day. So, it might have changed by the time this posts pops up.

I discovered another morning-coffee-game that I just love. If you try it - click on the [Help] button to see the rules. You get 12 letters - and those 12 letters will make up 2 words. While it is fun to figure out the two words, the point is to make a certain number of words out of the letters provided and there is a requirement for the order of letters that is too complicated to explain.
All I can say is that the day I stumbled across this game, it really caught me, in a good way. I spent a ridiculous amount of time finding *5 words or less* - so the next day -- I popped it open and magically, I could see the two words that could be made from the 12 letters. It totally hooked me.
And here is the best part -- the name of the game is Letter Boxed. That's a perfect name for an envelope aficionado. I can't figure out if it is brand new (in May when I am writing this) or if it was there all along and I just didn't see it. Doesn't matter -- so happy to have found it.

This is a screen shot of what it looks like as you figure out words. Whatever letter you end on - becomes the first letter of the next word. I need to find a word that starts with H and hopefully includes a G or Z. Or two more words. Each day, if you are very clever, you can find two words that use all the letters. In this puzzle, the two words were ZEBRA ANTHOLOGY
