Checking your answers

Copy and paste your words from the Spelling Bee to see which ones you got right. All the tools will update to show you how many words you got right and how many are waiting to be found.

Get clues for each word

Each answer is hidden, and can be revealed by clicking on it. Each answer also has additional crossword-like clues to help you solve the answer.

Cross off completed answers

Each row in "Words by First Letter" and "by First Two Letters" can be checked off when you are completed.

Use the hint grid

This grid (words by first length and letter) shows the number of words that start with the letter on the left, and have the number of letters on the top. For example, there might be 3 words that start with "A" and have 4 letters.

Cross off the hint grid

Each number in the hint grid can be clicked to "cross it off." Click it again to uncross it. This is useful for keeping track of which words you have already found, and which ones you still need to find.
