How to Play Spelling Bee

1. Objective:
   Create as many words as possible using the given letters. Each word must:

• Be at least 4 letters long
• Include the center (yellow) letter
• Only use the displayed letters (letters may be reused)

1. Letter Grid:

• The center letter (gold hexagon) must be used in every word
• Six outer letters complete the honeycomb
• Click letters to add them to your word or type manually

1. Scoring:

• 4-letter words: 1 point
• Longer words: 1 point per letter (e.g., 5 letters = 5 points)
• Pangrams (words using all 7 letters): +7 bonus points

1. Controls:

• Submit: Check your word
• Shuffle: Rearrange the outer letters
• Reveal: Get a hint (shows a valid word)
• New Game: Start fresh with new letters

1. Difficulty Levels:

• Easy: Common 4-5 letter words
• Medium: 6-7 letter words
• Hard: 8+ letter words and obscure terms

1. Tips:

• Look for prefixes/suffixes (un-, -ing)
• Pluralize words (add -s or -es)
• Change verb tenses (play → played)

Note: Proper nouns and hyphenated words don’t count!

Example: With letters [B, A, C, D, E, F, G] and center B:
✔ Valid: “bead” (uses B), “faded”
✖ Invalid: “cat” (no B), “axe” (X not in letters)

Use the result as game feedback

Accepted words depend on the game’s word list. A rejected entry does not necessarily mean a word is absent from every dictionary. Use Reveal Word to inspect the game’s own suggestion, or start another round when you want a different puzzle. The score measures this round, not a reader’s general language ability.
