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.

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.

The spelling bee game comes in two modes, and choosing between them comes down to one question: how much do you want to play?

The Daily Spelling Bee, the puzzle you're on right now, is a single fresh hive released every 24 hours. Everyone plays the exact same seven letters, and the board resets at midnight in your local time. Because the puzzle is identical for every player, the daily game is built for friendly competition: compare your score with friends and family, or simply make it a once-a-day habit and see how often you can reach Genius.

Spelling Bee Unlimited is for when one puzzle a day isn't enough. Rather than waiting for the clock, you get an endless stream of fresh hives, finish one and the next set of seven letters loads instantly. It's the natural choice for practice, longer sessions, and chasing pangram after pangram with no daily cap.

So play the Daily Spelling Bee for a shared, once-a-day challenge, and head over to Spelling Bee Unlimited whenever you want to keep the words flowing.

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.
To keep things fair, the full answer list for today stays hidden until the puzzle is over. You can reveal the complete word list, pangram included, the next day through the “Yesterday's answers” option, with your own found words highlighted so you can see exactly what you missed.
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.
