Words by length
How many valid words there are at each length. Chasing a long one? Most pangrams sit at seven letters, but some puzzles hide an eight or nine.
| Letters | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Σ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Words | 19 | 11 | 26 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 74 |
Two-letter starts
How many valid words begin with each pair. A good nudge without spoiling the answer.
Need the answers?
These hints are intentionally spoiler-free, so the satisfaction of finding each word is still yours. If you'd rather peek at the full word list for today's puzzle, open the Spelling Bee Solver and use Load today's letters. You can reveal results one at a time with partial clues (first two letters, length, point value) or hit Reveal all when you're done.
How to use today's hints
A sensible order for when you're stuck but don't want the puzzle handed to you.
Scan the letters
Note the center letter and outer letters. Say them out loud, shuffle them in your head, and look for familiar beginnings and endings.
Target by length
Check the word-length grid. If one row is unusually tall, there's a cluster of words at that size waiting to be found.
Chase two-letter starts
Pick a pair you haven't tried and brainstorm every word you can that begins with it. One good pair usually unlocks several words.
Hunt the pangram
Every puzzle has at least one pangram worth a 7-point bonus. If it's still missing, try to use every outer letter plus the center at least once.
About these hints
These Spelling Bee hints are generated directly from the daily puzzle on TheSpellingBee.org - the same seven letters, the same center letter, and stats computed against the same word list the game accepts and scores. They are not sourced from any other publisher's puzzle. If you're looking for the New York Times puzzle, this isn't that; this is our own free daily Spelling Bee, with its own hives and word list.
We keep the page spoiler-free on purpose. A good hint is a nudge, not the solution: a word-length distribution tells you where to look, two-letter starts tell you what shape to reach for, and the pangram count tells you whether a 7-point bonus is still waiting. When you've truly had enough, the Solver will hand you the full list - reveal one word at a time with partial clues (first two letters, length, point value), or reveal them all at once. The choice is yours.
The puzzle resets at midnight in your local time, and so do these clues. If you're reading this just after midnight and the date on the page says "Puzzle for November 4, 2026", give it a second - the page re-syncs to your local day as soon as it loads.
