How does the Spelling Bee solver work?

Enter the required centre letter and 6 surrounding letters. The solver finds all valid 4+ letter words that use only those letters (repeats allowed) and contain the centre letter. Pangrams — words using all 7 letters — are highlighted.

What is a pangram in Spelling Bee?

A pangram is a word that uses all 7 available letters at least once. In the NYT Spelling Bee, pangrams are worth bonus points. Our solver highlights them so you can spot them easily.

Why must every word contain the centre letter?

The centre letter rule mirrors the NYT Spelling Bee format. Every valid word must include the centre letter at least once, while the other 6 letters are optional (but available for use).
