Is this the only solution?

No. It is the shortest chain of common words, at 2 words. A box usually accepts thousands of valid chains, and any chain that uses all twelve letters finishes the puzzle.

How many words does the board accept?

Today's box accepts 1273 dictionary words. Only twelve letters have to be covered, so most of them never appear in anyone's solution.

Is Box Words the same in every language?

No. Each language gets its own box built from its own dictionary, so the English board and its solution are different from every other language's that day.
