How Spelling Bee answers work
Spelling Bee uses a seven-letter honeycomb. Each valid word has at least four letters and includes the center letter; letters may be repeated. A pangram uses all seven letters at least once and earns a point bonus. For a general overview of the rules, see The New York Times Spelling Bee.
