Practice without waiting for tomorrow
The daily Spelling Bee gives you one hive per day. Unlimited mode removes the wait. Press “New puzzle” and you get a random hive from a library of more than 3,000 letter sets. The rules and scoring are exactly the same, so it is a good way to build your vocabulary and your pattern spotting.
Why play unlimited?
Speed comes from repetition. Players who do a few extra hives each week start to recognise common word shapes quickly, like double letters or a trailing -LY. You can also use it to warm up before the daily puzzle, or to relax when you only have five minutes.
How it differs from the daily game
Your current unlimited puzzle is saved on your device until you start a new one. It never affects your daily progress. If you just want the answers for a hive, head over to the solver.
How to play in five steps
- Look at the hive. Seven letters sit in a honeycomb. The yellow one in the middle is the center letter.
- Build words. Tap letters or type on your keyboard. Every word needs at least 4 letters and must use the center letter.
- Reuse letters freely. You can use the same letter as many times as you like.
- Submit with Enter. Valid words add to your score. Four-letter words give 1 point, longer words give 1 point per letter.
- Find the pangram. Each puzzle hides at least one word that uses all seven letters. It earns 7 bonus points. Reach Genius to win.
