The October 16, 2025, NYT Spelling Bee uses A, E, L, N, T, U, and X, with T in the center. The reported pangram is EXULTANT. Below are hints and the reported answers, with a note about conflicting published totals.
Hints for solving the October 16 puzzle
- Every answer must include the center letter, T.
- Answers need at least four letters, and you can reuse letters.
- Try common starts such as TA-, TE-, and TU-, then look for repeated-letter forms and longer words built from familiar prefixes or endings.
- The reported pangram, which uses all seven hive letters, is EXULTANT.
These mechanics and the answer list are reported by secondary guides, not an official NYT answer page. See Try Hard Guides’ October 16 answer guide for the reported rules and corroborating list.

Spelling Bee Answers reports 66 possible answers. The BeeAnswers calendar entry for October 16, 2025 lists 109 words and 521 points for the same date, letters, and pangram. The cited pages do not explain whether they use different dictionaries or counting methods, so these totals should not be combined or treated as official. The 66-word list is corroborated by Try Hard Guides, while the archive’s higher count remains unexplained. BeeAnswers archive
