Need Help With Today’s Puzzle?
Enter the 7 letters into our solver and find every valid word instantly.
Every daily answer page includes the complete word list for that puzzle, sorted first by length and then alphabetically. Four-letter words appear first, then five-letter words, and so on up through the pangram. Each pangram is highlighted in amber so you can spot it at a glance. The page also shows the total word count, maximum possible points, the Genius threshold for that day, and the required center letter.
If you missed a puzzle from the past week, you can load that day’s letters directly into our solver with one click. This lets you hunt for words you missed without seeing the full answer list upfront — a better experience than scanning a spoiler list.
Answer pages go live at midnight Eastern time each day, as soon as the new puzzle unlocks. We update the archive automatically, so bookmarking this page gives you one-click access to today’s answers every morning.
How Spelling Bee Scoring Works
Understanding the scoring system helps you use the answer archive more effectively. Four-letter words are worth exactly 1 point each — they score equally regardless of letter count. Words with five or more letters score 1 point per letter: a five-letter word earns 5 points, a seven-letter word earns 7 points, and so on.
Pangrams — words that use all 7 letters at least once — earn a 7-point bonus on top of their letter count. A seven-letter pangram earns 14 points total (7 for letters + 7 bonus). Most daily puzzles contain exactly one pangram, though occasionally a puzzle includes two.
Genius rank requires 70% of the total maximum points available for that day. Since every puzzle has a different word list, the Genius threshold changes daily. Each answer page shows the exact Genius cutoff so you know precisely how far you got. Queen Bee means you found every single word for 100% of maximum points.
Spelling Bee Archive: Common Questions
Our archive currently covers the last 10 days of daily NYT Spelling Bee puzzles and grows forward automatically each day. Each date page includes the full word list, pangram, Genius threshold, center letter, and maximum possible points. Older dates remain permanently accessible once published.
Today’s answer page goes live at midnight Eastern time each day when the new puzzle unlocks. The archive page marks today’s date at the top of the grid. If you visit before midnight, you will see the previous day’s puzzle marked as today until the new one publishes.
Yes. Click any archive card to open that day’s answer page, then click Open Solver to load those letters into our solver. The solver shows you the full word list only when you ask for it — letting you hunt for missed words without seeing them all upfront. Use Hints Mode to see how many words start with each letter.
A pangram is a word that uses all 7 letters in the puzzle at least once. It earns a 7-point bonus on top of its letter score. Most daily puzzles have exactly one pangram. Finding it is usually the fastest path to Genius rank. Every answer page shows the pangram first, highlighted in the puzzle header.
Most NYT Spelling Bee puzzles contain between 15 and 50 valid words, with an average of around 25 to 35. Harder puzzles tend to have more obscure words rather than more words. The word count and total point value are shown on every archive page so you can compare puzzle difficulty across days.
