Spelling Bee is a daily 7-letter word puzzle in English. Find every word of four letters or more that you can make from the seven letters — the centre letter (in amber) must appear in every word, and letters can repeat. A word using all seven letters is a pangram and earns a +7 bonus. Climb the NYT-style rank ladder from Beginner through Genius (70% of max) to Queen Bee (100%). A new hive is generated every day in each supported language; the dictionary is native, not translated.
Every Spelling Bee puzzle is seven letters in a hexagon. The centre letter (amber) must appear in every word you submit. Outer letters are optional and can repeat — so the hive A F I R S T with centre E accepts words like feast, raft, starfire (a pangram).
Scoring follows the NYT Spelling Bee rubric. 4-letter words score 1 pt. Longer words score one point per letter — a 6-letter word earns 6 pts, a 7-letter word earns 7 pts, and so on. Pangrams — words that use all seven letters — earn a +7 bonus on top of their length score.
Climb the 9-rank ladder by accumulating score — Beginner, Good Start, Moving Up, Good, Solid, Nice, Great, Amazing, and Genius at 70 % of the day's maximum. Find every valid word and you reach Queen Bee (100 %) — the rare end state.
Each supported language uses its own native dictionary to guarantee at least one pangram per day. New hive every midnight — share your rank, then come back tomorrow.
Every valid word must include the amber centre letter. Try common prefixes and suffixes that feature it — 'RE-', '-ING', '-ED' — and scan for two-letter bigrams that fit with the centre plus two neighbours.
A four-letter root (like CARE with C/A/R/E available) often multiplies into five, six and seven-letter variants (CARES, CARED, CARET). Lock the root, then permute endings.
Pangrams use all seven letters. Scan the outer ring and look for a vowel-rich combination (three vowels is usually a good sign). A +7 bonus can jump you two full ranks.
The shuffle button rearranges the outer letters — the puzzle itself doesn't change, but rearranging helps your brain spot new combinations. Try it a couple of times before asking for a hint.
After you reach Nice (25%) the Hint button gives the first letter of a remaining pangram or the count of unfound words. It's a nudge, not an answer — no score penalty.
