Questions and answers
Can I make my own Spelling Bee puzzle?
Yes. Choose a center letter and six outer letters. BeeHints checks how many everyday words and pangrams they make, then gives you a link that opens your custom puzzle for anyone, free.
Why does my puzzle need a pangram?
Every Spelling Bee style puzzle has at least one word that uses all seven letters. Without one, the puzzle feels unfinished, so the maker asks for at least one.
Which words count in a custom puzzle?
Everyday English words of four or more letters from the ENABLE and SCOWL word lists, the same list as our unlimited mode. Proper nouns, very rare words and offensive words are left out.
Does my friend need an account?
No. The link opens the puzzle in any browser. Their progress is saved on their own device.
