This is yesterday's Spelling Bee from Sun, Oct 18, kept for a day. The hints come first, then the answer, so you can check the grid you played. New to it? Our Spelling Bee game page covers where to play, the modes and our tips.
Spelling Bee gives you seven letters in a honeycomb and asks for as many words as you can make, each at least four letters long and each using the center letter. Letters can repeat, and every hive holds at least one pangram that uses all seven.
Most players stall below Genius because they chase new roots instead of stretching the ones they already found. Once a word lands, try its other forms where the letters allow, then look for the pangram among the longest of them.
