About this tool

The Spelling Bee Solver mirrors the rules of the popular seven-letter honeycomb puzzle: every answer must be at least four letters long, may use only the seven letters you provide, and must include the required center letter at least once. Letters can repeat freely, so a single tile can appear many times in one word. Enter your center letter and the six outer letters, and the solver lists every matching dictionary word, sorted from longest to shortest.

Words that use all seven distinct letters are pangrams — worth a bonus — and the solver flags each one with a star and lists how many it found. It also tallies the total possible score using the familiar scoring: four-letter words are worth 1 point, longer words score their length in points, and each pangram earns an extra 7 points on top.

All matching happens locally in your browser against a bundled public-domain English word list, so nothing you type leaves your device. Because that list is public-domain, a few very modern or borrowed words (for example qi, za or xu) may be missing, and some archaic entries may appear that a specific puzzle would not accept — treat the output as a comprehensive candidate list rather than one puzzle's official answer key.

Frequently asked questions

What are the Spelling Bee rules?
Words must be at least four letters, use only the seven given letters (repeats allowed), and always include the center letter. This solver applies exactly those constraints to a large English word list.
What is a pangram?
A pangram is a word that uses all seven distinct letters at least once. The solver marks each pangram with a star; pangrams score their length plus a 7-point bonus, so they are the most valuable finds.
How is the score calculated?
Four-letter words score 1 point, and every longer word scores its length in points. Each pangram adds a further 7 points. The tool sums these to show the total points available from all found words.
Why are some official answers missing or extra?
It uses a public-domain word list, which differs from any single puzzle's dictionary. Some modern words may be absent and some rare words present, so use the list as thorough candidates rather than one puzzle's exact answers.
