A free spelling bee word game with a pangram bonus
Spelling Bee gives you seven letters arranged around one center letter in a honeycomb. Your job is to spell real words of four letters or more using only those seven letters, and every single word you submit has to include the center letter. Letters aren't used up when you play them, so reuse any of the seven as many times as one word needs. Click the honeycomb tiles in order, or just type on your keyboard, and press Enter or the Submit button to check your word.
Longer words score more points, four-letter words are always worth exactly one point, and any word that manages to use all seven letters at least once is a pangram, worth a big bonus on top of its normal score. Every word you find gets added to your found list so you can keep track of what you've already got. Your rank climbs from Beginner up toward Queen Bee as your score gets closer to that puzzle's maximum, and finding every accepted word earns the top rank.
There's no daily puzzle and no timer, just unlimited practice: press New Puzzle any time for a fresh set of seven letters, and your best score from a single puzzle is saved locally in your own browser so you can try to beat it. It's free, works with a mouse, touchscreen, or keyboard, and needs no download or account.
