NYT Spelling Bee is an independent, browser-based seven-letter word game. This daily puzzle asks you to use the center letter in every word, reuse letters as often as you like, and look for a pangram that uses all seven letters.
Words have at least four letters and must include the center letter. Proper nouns and hyphenated words are not accepted.
Four-letter words score one point, longer words score one point per letter, and pangrams receive a seven-point bonus.
