About

The story behind Spellbee.fun

Spellbee.fun is an independent word-puzzle site built for players who love the classic seven-letter hive game and want a version that is fast, free, and works everywhere. There is no signup, no paywall, no intrusive video ads, and no dark patterns — just the puzzle and the words.

What we make

How we build puzzles

Every daily hive is generated deterministically from the UTC date, so two players opening the site half a world apart still see the same seven letters. Every hive is guaranteed to contain at least one pangram, and the maximum score, ranks, and pangram bonus are calculated the same way as the classic game: 1 point for a 4-letter word, 1 point per letter for longer words, and a +7 bonus for any pangram.

Our word list

The dictionary is curated from public-domain English word data. We exclude proper nouns, hyphenated entries, slang initialisms, and very obscure or offensive words. If you think a common word is missing, submit it on the Word Submission page — real people review every suggestion.

Privacy first
