How to solve today’s Spelling Bee

Type or tap letters to build a word, then submit it. Four-letter words score one point; longer words score one point per letter. A pangram, which uses all seven letters at least once, earns a seven-point bonus. Your rank climbs from Beginner through Good Start, Moving Up, Good, Solid, Nice, Great and Amazing to Genius, which needs roughly 70 percent of the available points. Finding every single word earns the hidden Queen Bee rank.

Spelling Bee tips for tomorrow

  • Find the pangram first. Look at the seven letters and try to combine them into one long word. The bonus points alone can be a tenth of your Genius target.
  • Work through common endings. Add -ING, -ED, -ER and -EST to every short word you find. Spelling Bee accepts most inflected forms.
  • Double up letters. Letters can repeat, so words like TATTOO, LULL or ASSESS are often valid even when they look unlikely.
