About this NYT Spelling Bee solver
The New York Times Spelling Bee gives you seven letters arranged in a honeycomb. Every answer must be at least four letters long, may reuse letters as often as you like, and must include the centre letter. This free solver checks a large English word list against your seven letters and lists every possible answer, grouped by length, with pangrams — words using all seven letters — highlighted.
How is the score calculated?
Four-letter words are worth 1 point. Longer words score one point per letter. A pangram earns an extra 7 points on top of its length.
What is a pangram?
A pangram uses all seven letters at least once. Every Spelling Bee puzzle has at least one, and they're the biggest single scoring opportunity of the day.
Why is a word missing?
The NYT uses its own curated dictionary and excludes proper nouns, hyphenated words and obscure entries. Our list is close but not identical, so a handful of answers may differ.
