Spelling Bee Game

Spelling Bee is a very popular word game in the US. The rules of the Spelling Bee are quite simple. Find as many words as possible in a set of 7 letters. Every day you are given new 7 letters - 6 simple and one mandatory. You need to click on the letters on the screen or keyboard to form words from them with a length of 4 letters. In this case, you can use any number of letters any number of times, but each word must contain a central letter. The more words, the more points you get. See below for more detailed rules.

How to play Spelling Bee?

1The Rules

You see 7 letters in front of you. Your task is to make as many words as possible from these letters. You don't have to use all the letters. The letter in the center must be in the word. Words must be at least 4 letters long. Letters in a word can be used more than once. You have 24 hours to come up with as many words as possible, every day the game is updated and new letters and words appear.

2Points and Pangrams

For each word you guess, you get points. For a 4 letter word you will get 1 point. Longer words will earn you 1 point for each letter used in it. There is also at least one Pangram in every game. Pangram is a word that contains all possible letters (maybe more than once). For the fact that you find such a word, you will receive an additional 7 points.

3Ranks

For each game (set of letters), the maximum possible number of words and points that you can get by guessing them all are known in advance. This is how the rating system works, which you can see at the top of the game.

4Words You Cannot Use

You cannot use some words, such as words with hyphens, proper nouns, profanity, made-up words. For your convenience, there is a letter shuffling button - with its help you can swap letters in the fields in order to look at them from a new angle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you play Spelling Bee?
You are given seven letters arranged in a honeycomb. Build as many words as you can, four letters or longer, and every word must include the center letter. Letters may be reused as often as you like. The more (and longer) words you find, the higher your score and rank.
How does scoring work?
A four-letter word is worth 1 point. Longer words score 1 point per letter, so a six-letter word is worth 6 points. Finding a pangram — a word that uses all seven letters — earns a 7-point bonus on top of its length.
What is a pangram?
A pangram is a word that uses every one of the seven letters at least once. Each puzzle contains at least one pangram, and spotting it is the fastest way to boost your score thanks to the extra 7-point bonus.
What are the ranks, and how are they calculated?
For every puzzle the maximum possible number of words and points is known in advance. Your rank — from Beginner up to Genius — is based on the share of those total points you have earned, so the ladder is the same difficulty for everyone playing that day.
Why is my word not accepted?
If a valid-looking word is rejected, it simply is not in our dictionary — no dictionary is perfect. We also exclude hyphenated words, proper nouns, profanity and obscure spellings. If you think a word belongs (or that one shouldn't count), suggest a change and we will review it.
Where can I see the answers?
You can view a full answer list for a puzzle the next day. Tap the Yesterday's button to see every word from the previous game, with the ones you found shown in bold. Stuck today? The Solver can list every accepted word for any set of letters.
When does the daily puzzle change?
A brand-new set of seven letters appears every day at 12:00 am, based on the clock of the device you are playing on. That gives you a full 24 hours to find as many words as you can.
Can I play more than one puzzle a day?
Yes. The daily puzzle refreshes once a day, but Unlimited mode lets you generate as many fresh puzzles as you want and keep several games going at once — perfect for extra practice.
Is it free, and is my progress saved?
Spelling Bee is completely free to play in your browser — no account or download required. Your words, ranks and statistics are stored on your device, so your progress stays as long as you use the same browser and do not clear its data.
How can I contact you or suggest a word?
We'd love to hear from you. Use the contact page for questions, ideas and bug reports, or the word suggestion page if you think a word should be added to (or removed from) the game.
