Instructions: Begin by guessing a word that fits in the boxes. (Make sure you click on the first square in the grid before you start typing, or use the keyboard provided below the puzzle.)

If the square remains gray, that letter is not in the answer. You’ll have six guesses to determine the final word. (See more guidance from the New York Times.)
