How Spelling Bee works
Make as many words as you can from seven letters — every word must be at least four letters and include the center letter. Four-letter words score 1 point, longer words score their length, and a pangram (uses all seven letters) earns a 7-point bonus. Reach “Genius” without spoilers using our hint first.
