Daily Spelling Bee Puzzle
A new seven-letter board every day, the same one for everyone. Find as many words as you can before tomorrow's puzzle arrives — or jump to Unlimited if one a day isn't enough.
A fresh puzzle every day
The daily spelling bee gives you one carefully chosen board per day, and it is the same board for every player. That shared puzzle is what makes the daily mode social: you and your friends can compare how many words you found, who spotted the pangram first, and who reached the highest rank. A new board appears every day at midnight US Eastern time, so there is always a fresh challenge waiting.
A calmer daily ritual
If you like a single puzzle to chew on across the day — over coffee, on the commute, before bed — the daily board is built for exactly that. There is no countdown clock and no pressure. Find a few words now, leave the tab, and return later; your progress is saved in your browser until the puzzle resets. Many players treat it as a small daily brain workout that takes just a few minutes.
Daily vs. unlimited — which should you play?
The two modes serve different moods. Daily is the shared, once-a-day ritual: one board, the same for everyone, ideal for a steady habit and friendly comparison. Unlimited is for when one puzzle is not enough — an endless stream of fresh, vetted boards with no waiting. Plenty of players do the daily first, then switch to unlimited mode to keep going.
Tips for today's board
- Scan for the pangram. Every daily board has at least one word using all seven letters — finding it gives a big score boost.
- Come back later. Stepping away and returning with fresh eyes often reveals words you walked right past.
- Reach for length. Longer words score more and move you up the ranks toward Legend faster than short ones.
Free and independent
The daily puzzle is free, like everything on HiveWords — no login, no paywall, no hint wall. HiveWords is an independent word game and is not affiliated with The New York Times or its Spelling Bee. Want more right now? Unlimited mode never makes you wait, or return to the main game.
