Independence From The New York Times

Spelling Bee is a game published by The New York Times. This site is independently developed and maintained and has no affiliation with The New York Times. "Spelling Bee" and "The New York Times" are names and trademarks of their respective owners. They are used on this site only to describe the type of puzzle and to identify the official game, and they do not imply endorsement.

For help with NYT accounts, subscriptions or the official game, please contact The New York Times directly.

Solver, Hints and Word Lists

The solver and hints on this site are aids for players. They are generated from this site's own word list and puzzle data, which does not match the official game exactly. As a result:

  • The solver may list a word that the official game rejects, or miss a word that the game accepts.
  • Hints, counts, point totals and rank thresholds are provided for guidance and may not match the official game in every case.
  • Some hints, such as the pangram reveal, show answers. Open them only if you want the spoiler.

If you find a difference, please email [email protected] so it can be reviewed. I can't promise a change for every report.

Educational and Entertainment Purposes

The games, hints, word lists and articles on this site are for education and entertainment. I work to keep them accurate, but I don't guarantee that everything is complete, current or error-free. Nothing on this site is professional advice or a substitute for instruction from a teacher or tutor.
