That’s it, except for the rating: what score qualifies as good, excellent or genius. Using all seven letters is worth three points, any other entry a single point. Six outer letters in a wheel with a seventh letter at the center. What I like about it is it’s sort of the anti- Times crossword puzzle. It’s available Thursday nights online, sometime after eight PST. I don’t bother with Monday through Wednesday anymore.īut recently there’s been a new kid in town, the weekend Spelling Bee.

Since its online debut in 2018, Spelling Bee's popularity has grown and the game has received praise from other game makers in the media industry. As of August 2021, the game is maintained by Sam Ezersky, who is responsible for constructing the daily puzzles, which go live at 3 A.M., eastern, every day. The game's digital version debuted on May 9, 2018. The game launched in its print format in 2014 as a weekly feature in The New York Times Magazine. Spelling Bee was created by Frank Longo following a proposal from Will Shortz. If the player finds all of the possible words in a given puzzle, they achieve the title of "Queen Bee". Each puzzle is guaranteed to have at least one pangram, which awards the player the largest number of points when found. Scoring points leads to progressively higher praise for the player's effort, such as "Solid", "Amazing", and "Genius". However, any words proposed by the player must include the letter at the center of the honeycomb.
The player scores points by using the letters to form words consisting of four or more letters. The game presents players with a grid of 7 letters arrayed in a honeycomb structure.
The sole pangram of this puzzle was "inflect".
