How to Play Spelling Bee

finding-a-word-in-spelling-bee — Screenshot by Gamepur

To play Spelling Bee, fans must use the letters provided to guess as many words as possible to maximize their score. Each word they correctly guess must use the letter “B” or it won’t count towards their score.

We’ve found that the best tactic is to guess as many large words as possible to build up the score. Then, it’s easy to add the easier small words such as bag, beg, or bog. Going from large words to small words helps players keep easy guesses as reserves for when the points are truly a concern and ideas are running dry.

The game has specific rules. Words must have at least four letters, and four-letter words are worth one point each. Longer words earn an extra point per letter, so six-letter words rake in six points. Every puzzle has at least one pangram, which is a word that uses all the letters in the puzzle and is worth seven points. Finally, none of the words are offensive, so there’s no point in guessing those types of words.

Do You Need a Subscription to Play Spelling Bee

Yes, players must have a New York Times subscription to play Spelling Bee to completion daily. However, it’s possible for players to guess four or five words until they hit the stage where they have roughly 13 points left to guess for free.

The game only kicks players to the subscription screen once they’ve guessed most of the daily Spelling Bee Puzzle words. This is how we enjoyed engaging with the game for a while since it allowed us to get a taste of the puzzle without needing to pay the subscription.

If players want to guess all the points required for the daily Spelling Bee Puzzle and complete it, they’ll need to start paying a subscription. This costs roughly $2 per month.
