Guide
How Spelling Bee works, and how to find every word.
Spelling Bee gives you seven letters arranged in a honeycomb: one center letter in the middle and six outer letters around it. Your goal is to spell as many valid words as possible. Every word must follow three simple rules.
The three rules
- At least four letters. Three-letter words never count.
- Must use the center letter. Every single word has to include it at least once.
- Only the seven letters. You can repeat letters as often as you like, but you can’t use any letter outside the hive.
How points are scored
The scoring rewards longer words and, above all, pangrams:
- 4-letter words are worth 1 point.
- 5+ letter words earn 1 point per letter (a 7-letter word = 7 points).
- Pangrams — words using all 7 letters — score their length plus a 7-point bonus.
Worked example
Say the center letter is T and the outer letters are A C I L O N. The word action uses the center T and only allowed letters, so it’s valid and worth 6 points. Any word that happens to use all seven letters at least once is a pangram — an 8-letter pangram would score 8 letters + 7 bonus = 15 points. The solver above surfaces every valid word and ranks the longest, highest-scoring finds first.
What is a pangram, and why it matters
A pangram uses every one of the seven letters at least once. Each puzzle has at least one. Because of the +7 bonus, the pangram is usually the single most valuable word on the board and the quickest path toward the coveted Genius rank. This tool tags every pangram with a gold 🐝 badge so you never miss one.
Daily strategy tips
- Find the pangram early. Scan for a word that touches all seven letters — it’s worth the most and confirms you understand the letter set.
- Work the suffixes. Endings like -ing, -ed, -er, and -tion generate many words once you spot a root.
- Try plurals and tenses. If a word is valid, its plural or past tense often is too — provided it still obeys the seven-letter rule.
- Reuse letters freely. Words like cocoa or llama remind you that repeats are allowed and unlock extra finds.
- Shuffle for fresh eyes. Rearranging the hive (the shuffle button above) breaks visual ruts and reveals words you were skimming past.
