Seven letters. One of them is required in every word you make. That's the whole setup for this one, no head to head match, no opponent to beat, just you and a fixed set of letters for the day.
If you came here searching for something to play against an AI, it's worth saying plainly: this game doesn't have an AI opponent. It's a solo puzzle scored against rank thresholds, not a versus mode. What follows is how the real game actually works.
How to play
- Look at the seven letters shown for the day. One is marked as the required letter.
- Type any word of four letters or more, built only from those seven letters, that includes
the required letter.
- Letters can repeat within a word, so a letter appearing once in the set doesn't limit how
many times you can use it in a single answer.
- Each valid word scores points equal to its length minus three. A word that uses all seven
letters earns 5 bonus points on top of that.
- Your running total moves you through ranks set at 0, 10, 25, 45, 70 and 100 percent of the
day's total available points.
Say the seven letters for the day were T (required), A, E, L, R, S and Y. Tears would be a valid four-plus letter word using the required T, worth two points. Realty would be worth three points for its six letters, still short of using every letter in the set. Neither of those is today's actual set, they're just here to show how a word and its score work.
Tips for finding more words
Start with short, common words first. Four and five-letter words are usually easiest to spot and they get your score moving before you hunt for anything longer.
Say the required letter out loud while you scan. Since it has to appear in every answer, keeping it in mind narrows down which combinations are even worth trying.
Remember letters can repeat. If the set includes an E, a word with two E's in it is still fair, so don't rule out a word just because it seems to need a letter twice.
Hunt for the word that uses all seven. It's worth 5 extra points on top of its length score, and it's usually the single biggest jump in your rank for one answer.
Come back daily rather than cramming one long session. Since the letters reset every day, playing regularly does more for your word-finding speed than one long sitting ever will.
What makes this version different
If you're comparing this against other games in the spelling bee style, the core shape is familiar: seven letters, one required, build as many valid words as you can. Where this version keeps things simple is in how it's scored and ranked, a straight length-minus-three formula with one clear bonus, and six plain rank thresholds instead of a more elaborate titling system. There's no AI to play against and no lottery-style draw for a prize; it's a daily puzzle with a transparent scoring rule you can work out for yourself.
Practice that actually shows where you land
Treat each day's puzzle as its own short practice session. Because the letters change daily, playing it regularly builds real pattern recognition for spotting valid words fast, and your rank each day gives you an honest read on how that session went compared to the day's full point total, nothing more mysterious than a percentage of what was available.
Keep the streak going
- Spelling games for more ways to practice words, not just find them.
- Word finder if you want to check every word a set of letters can make.
- Spelling test for a dictation-style round instead of a letter hive.
- Vocabulary word lists to build up the words you recognize on sight.
