Get a nudge in the right direction with our spoiler free grid and two letter list
Your goal is to form as many words as possible using the seven letters in the honeycomb grid. You can use any letter more than once but every single word must contain the center letter. You must find words with at least four letters to score points.
You earn one point for a four-letter word while longer words earn one point for every letter. You score seven bonus points if you find a Pangram which is a word that uses every letter in the hive at least once.
Start the challenge by combining the seven letters in the honeycomb grid to form valid English words of any length. You can use each letter more than once but you must avoid proper nouns and hyphenated words to keep your streak alive.
Four letter words are worth one point while longer words earn you one point for each letter. You will receive seven bonus points if you find a Pangram which is a special word that uses every letter in the hive at least once.
Your total score increases with every new word you find and helps you climb the progress ladder. Your ultimate goal for the day is to reach the Genius rank or find every possible word to complete the puzzle.
Relax with endless word challenges that let you play at your own pace without hitting any paywalls or subscription blocks
Yes! You can play the daily and unlimited mode puzzle online completely for free without paying a subscription fee or hitting a paywall. We believe word games should be accessible to everyone who wants to improve their English skills.
Start with common prefixes and suffixes. Look for pangrams (words using all 7 letters) for bonus points. Take breaks and come back with fresh eyes. Keep a list of words you've tried to avoid repetition.
Words may not be accepted if they are: less than 4 letters, don't include the center letter, are proper nouns, hyphenated, vulgar, or simply not in our dictionary. We use a standard open dictionary to validate your guesses but we exclude proper nouns and offensive terms to keep the game fair. If you believe a valid word is missing you can contact us to suggest an addition to our word list.
The complete word list is not revealed during gameplay to maintain the challenge. However, you can see all the words you've found in the "Found Words" section. After 24 hours, you can check Yesterday's answers for daily spelling bee game.
The game updates every single day at midnight UTC to provide you with a fresh set of seven letters and a new hidden Pangram challenge. You can return every morning to maintain your streak and test your vocabulary against the new board. Depending on where you live, this may be earlier or later than midnight in your local time. The letters and word list change completely at that time each day, providing a fresh challenge every 24 hours.
You reach Genius rank when you earn roughly 70 percent of the total possible points for that specific puzzle. Finding the Pangram and spotting longer words helps you hit this milestone faster than finding short four letter words.
Our version offers a similar challenge to the New York Times Spelling Bee but we provide an Unlimited Mode so you can play more than one puzzle a day. You can also play our game completely for free without needing a digital subscription to The New York Times.
We use a standard open dictionary that includes many of the same words found in the NYT Spelling Bee but we may accept some valid words that their editor excludes. This means you might find our word list slightly more generous than the version you play on the Times website.
You earn the secret Queen Bee title only when you find more than 90 percent of the answers and push all the way to 100 percent completion. This hidden rank appears when you clear the entire board and serves as the ultimate achievement for players who want to go beyond the standard Genius level.
The modern honeycomb word puzzle became a global sensation through the New York Times Spelling Bee but the concept of making words from a limited set of letters has been around for decades. We developed 'Today's Spelling Bee' to provide a completely free alternative to the NY Times Spelling Bee that is accessible to everyone. We updated the dictionary to include more common terms while keeping the challenging gameplay you love.
