Spelling Bee is an online word game offered by The New York Times. The game takes the form of seven hexagons, each containing a letter: a mandatory central letter surrounded by six peripheral letters.
Example: The center letter is A and the 6 letters around are B,C,D,E,F,G
The original SpellingBee daily game is here it has many copies like Spellsbee here or the Blossom game here all taking the format of the beehive.
The player must form words using only the seven letters available, including the central letter.
Each letter can be used as many times as desired, and the longer the word, the higher the score.
A special word, called a pangram, uses all seven available letters and earns a bonus score.
Indicate the letter in the center and the 6 adjacent letters, the order of the letters is not important to find the words.
Then indicate the dictionary used: proper nouns are refused, as are certain words that are perfectly valid in the dictionary.
Click on 'find the words' to display the list of possible solution words.
Each word is worth a certain number of points based on its length:
1 point for a 4-letter word and 1 point for each additional letter.
Pangrams earn a bonus of 7 points.
