How to Play Spelling Bee
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.
How Spelling Bee works
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.
Tips & Strategy
Words like CRANE, STARE, or ADIEU test common letters quickly. Knowing which vowels are present narrows options fast.
Green letters stay locked. Yellow letters must move. Gray letters are eliminated. Each guess should use all three clues.
English words often end in -TION, -IGHT, -OUND, -MENT. Other languages have their own patterns — learn them.
Your second word should test new letters, not repeat confirmed ones. Cover as many untested consonants as possible.
Words like CREEK, FLOSS, or APPLE are common traps. If your clues don't add up, consider a repeated letter.
Hard mode forces you to use confirmed clues in every guess. It builds better habits even when you switch back to normal.
