Spelling Hive

Build enough accepted words to reach the point goal shown.

How to play

  1. Use only the seven displayed letters to make words of at least four letters. Every word must include the highlighted center letter; letters may repeat.
  2. Type or tap the letter tiles, then use Submit word or press Enter. Delete removes the last typed letter; Clear empties your entry. Shuffle letters rearranges the outer letters while keeping the required center fixed.
  3. Only words in this hive’s common-English list count, including familiar plurals and verb forms. Proper names and abbreviations are excluded. Each different word earns points once; unsupported words and repeated answers add no points.
  4. Four-letter words earn 1 point. Longer words earn their letter count. A word containing all seven different letters earns 7 extra points.
  5. Accepted words appear in your word list. Reach or pass the shown point goal to complete the hive; finding every possible word is not required.
