Spelling Bee helper

A Spelling Bee helper finds every word you can make from a 7-letter hive. Words must be 4 letters or longer, may reuse hive letters, and must include the center letter. Pangrams (all 7 letters) are marked. ENABLE is not the New York Times list. Treat this as a practice hive, not today’s official answers.

Try hive AEINRST with center R (the SATIRE letters). Pangrams include retains, nastier, stainer and longer words such as restrain. Four-letter words score 1; longer words score their length; a pangram adds 7.

Use ? for a blank tile. Words appear as you type.

How the hive works

Rivals rank for “spelling bee solver” and “pangram solver” with a dedicated hive tool, not a generic unscrambler. Unscramblers require you to use a bag of tiles without reuse. A bee hive lets you reuse letters and requires the center.

This helper uses ENABLE. The New York Times Spelling Bee uses its own list, so some ENABLE words will not count in the official game and some NYT words will be missing here. We do not publish today’s NYT answers.

Scoring on this page follows the common hive rules: 4-letter words are 1 point, longer words score their length, pangrams get a +7 bonus. Related: word maker, 7-letter words and bingo stems.

FAQ

Is this the New York Times Spelling Bee?

No. Not affiliated with The New York Times. Paste any 7 letters and a center to practise. ENABLE is a public-domain list; NYT uses its own.

What is a pangram in Spelling Bee?

A pangram uses all seven hive letters at least once, including the center. This page marks pangrams in the results and scores them with a +7 bonus.

Why are 4-letter words only 1 point?

That is the usual hive scoring. Longer words score one point per letter. A pangram adds 7 on top of its length.
