- Words must be at least four letters long (no three-letter words allowed here!).
- You can use the same letter multiple times to create longer words.
- The longer the word, the more points you earn!

🏅 How can i Improve Spelling Bee Skills
If you want to get better at the Spelling Bee, here are some handy tips:
1️⃣ Use the Shuffle Button
Rearranging the letters will help to refresh your perspective and it allows you to spot hidden words you might have missed!
2️⃣ Look for the Common Prefixes & Suffixes
Try adding “-ing”, “-ion”, “-ed”, or “-ly” to create longer words for more points.
3️⃣ Find the Pangram Early
The Pangram is a word that uses all seven letters at least once. Identifying it quickly can set you on the right path!
4️⃣ Start With Smaller Words & Build Up
Finding 4-letter words first makes it easier to spot longer words that branch off from them.
5️⃣ Use a Notebook or Word List
Jotting down words as you play can help spark new ideas and expand your vocabulary!
