Spelling Bee Game

How many words can you find in just seven letters?

Spelling Bee is a deceptively simple word game: you're handed a honeycomb of seven letters and one goal, spell as many words as you can before you run dry. It's a free online Spelling Bee you can play right in your browser, with no app to install and no account to create.

The best part is that it never runs out. Every day brings a brand-new puzzle, so today's Spelling Bee has its own fresh set of seven letters, its own hidden word list, and its own pangram waiting to be uncovered. Solve it today, come back tomorrow, and the hive resets for a whole new challenge. It's a quick, satisfying brain workout that's easy to pick up and surprisingly hard to put down, equally at home as a morning ritual or a five-minute break between tasks.

If today's hive is stubborn, you've got two helpers alongside the puzzle. Today's Spelling Bee Hints gives spoiler-free clues - the center letter, outer letters, total word count, pangram count, a word-length grid and two-letter starts - all drawn from the same puzzle you're playing. When you want the answer list itself, the Solver can load today's letters with one tap and reveal results either one at a time or all at once.

How to play Spelling Bee

Seven letters, one center, and as many words as you can find.

1

Build words

Make words of four or more letters from the hive. Every word has to use the center letter, and you can reuse letters as often as you like.

2

Score points

Four-letter words are worth 1 point. Longer words earn 1 point per letter, and every pangram adds a 7-point bonus.

3

Reach Genius

Your rank rises from Beginner to Genius as you earn more of the puzzle's points. Cross the day's target and you've won.

Spelling Bee takes about ten seconds to learn. You'll see seven letters arranged in a honeycomb, with one of them fixed in the center. Your task is to build as many valid words as you can from those letters.

The rules are short

  • Every word must be at least four letters long.
  • Every word must include the center letter.
  • You can reuse any letter as many times as you need, so "mama" is fair game even though you only see one A.
  • Proper nouns, hyphenated words, profanity, and very obscure words won't be accepted.

Scoring rewards ambition

  • A four-letter word earns 1 point.
  • Longer words score 1 point per letter, so a seven-letter word is worth 7.
  • Every puzzle hides at least one pangram, a word that uses all seven letters. Find it and you pocket a 7-point bonus on top of its normal score.

As your points add up, your rank climbs from Beginner all the way through Good, Great, and Amazing to Genius. You don't have to find every word to win, reaching Genius just means you've crossed the day's points target. And if you find yourself staring at the same letters with nothing coming to mind, tap the shuffle button. Rearranging the hive is the fastest way to spot a word you'd been looking straight past.

Today's Spelling Bee at a glance

Every day the hive resets with a brand-new combination of seven letters and a fresh hidden word list. Because the puzzle is the same for every player, it's the natural choice for a once-a-day habit and friendly score comparison with friends and family. A board that looks impossible at 9am often cracks open by lunchtime - the shuffle button, a short break, and a quick scan of the hints page are usually all it takes.

A good run follows a loose rhythm: find the obvious short words first, then chase longer entries built from the same clusters of letters. The pangram, worth a 7-point bonus on top of its usual score, is the single biggest swing in any day's puzzle. If you're hovering just below Genius, it's almost always a pangram or one or two seven-letter words standing between you and the day's target.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the daily Spelling Bee.

Yes. Spelling Bee is completely free to play, no account, no subscription, and nothing to download. Open the page in any browser and you can start spelling today's puzzle straight away.
A new puzzle goes live every 24 hours at 12:00 am (midnight) in your device's local time zone. The moment the clock ticks over, the hive refreshes with seven new letters and a new word list, so there's always a fresh puzzle waiting each morning.
Open Today's Spelling Bee Hints. You'll see the center letter, the six outer letters, the total word count, the number of pangrams, a word-length grid and two-letter starts - all generated from the same puzzle you're playing on the homepage, and all spoiler-free.
For a clue without a spoiler, use the Hints page. For the full word list, open the Solver, tap Load today's letters and either reveal results one at a time with partial clues or press Reveal all.
A pangram is a word that uses all seven letters of the hive at least once, and every puzzle has at least one. It's the most valuable find in the game: alongside the usual 1 point per letter, a pangram hands you a 7-point bonus, often the difference between a solid score and a Genius one.
If a word is rejected, it simply isn't in the game's dictionary. The word list deliberately leaves out proper nouns, hyphenated words, profanity, and extremely rare terms, so the occasional real word will miss the cut. It's also worth checking the basics, every word needs to be at least four letters and contain the center letter, the two most common reasons a word doesn't count.
Your rank reflects the share of the puzzle's total points you've earned, rising from Beginner through Good, Great, and Amazing up to Genius. You don't need to find every word, just enough to cross the day's points threshold. Focus on longer words and the pangram, since they carry the most points, and you'll climb the ranks far faster.
The daily game is a single shared puzzle that refreshes once every 24 hours. If you'd rather not wait, switch to Spelling Bee Unlimited and play an endless run of new hives back to back, perfect for practice or a longer sitting.
Yes. The game runs directly in your mobile browser, so you can play on a phone, tablet, or computer without installing anything. The honeycomb and built-in keyboard respond to both taps and a physical keyboard, so today's puzzle goes wherever you do.
