How the Spelling Bee works
The New York Times Spelling Bee gives you seven letters arranged in a honeycomb, with one required center letter. Build as many words as you can — every word must be at least four letters long and must use the center letter, and letters can be reused. A word that uses all seven letters is a pangram, worth 7 bonus points. Reach the Genius rank by scoring 70% of the day's maximum — or just grab the full list here.
