Spelling Bee
Build words from seven letters, find the pangram.
7.6/10★★★★★
Our verdict
Spelling Bee gives you seven letters and a honeycomb, and asks how many words you can build using the center letter. Chasing the daily "Genius" rank — and the elusive pangram that uses all seven — is quietly addictive. The accepted-word dictionary can be maddeningly picky, and it sits inside the NYT Games subscription, but few word games hook this hard.
Pros
Deeply moreish single daily puzzle
Satisfying rank progression
Finding the pangram feels great
Cons
Locked into NYT Games subscription
Obscure accepted-word list can frustrate
