Spelling bee solver, every word from seven letters.

A spelling bee solver finds every word you can make from seven letters when one of them, the centre letter, must be in every word. Put the centre letter in the first box and the six outer letters in the second. The tool lists every word of four or more letters that uses only those seven letters and always includes the centre one. Letters can be used more than once. Words that use all seven letters are pangrams, and they are shown first.

How to use the solver

1. Type the centre letter in the small box, and the six other letters in the wide box. The hive above redraws as you type.
2. Click an outer letter on the hive to make it the centre. Shuffle mixes the outer letters, which can help you see new words.
3. Read the cards: how many words there are, how many pangrams, and the points in all with the Genius target.
4. Use the hints before you look at the answers. The grid shows how many words are left for each first letter and length, and the By first two letters list shows where to aim. Tick Hints only, hide the words to keep the answers hidden.
5. Type or paste the words you have found under Words you have found. They are crossed off, counted toward your points, and left out of the hint grid, so the grid always shows what is still to find. A word that is not in this list is named under the cards and is not scored.
6. Untick it to see the words. Click one to copy it, or use Copy all words, Copy as a comma list or Download .txt.

A worked example

With the centre letter T and the outer letters A E I L N R, the Most words list finds 221 words of four or more letters. Nine of them are pangrams, including internal, inertial, latrine, reliant and interrelate. If you change the centre letter to E and keep the same seven letters, the pangrams are the same nine words, because pangrams use every letter, but the total changes to 238, since a different letter is now required. That shows why the centre letter matters so much.

Points and the Genius target

Each word is worth one point for four letters and one point per letter for longer words, and a pangram adds 7 points. That is the scoring written on the Wikipedia page for the game (checked 24 Oct 2026). Many players aim for the Genius rank, which fan sites set at 70 percent of the possible points. The Wikipedia page gives no percentage, and the game's own page could not be read, so treat 70 percent as a guide and not a rule. For the T hive below the tool counts 221 words and 1,337 points, so Genius at 70 percent is 936. Because this tool uses its own word list, the totals will not match any one game exactly.

The rules this tool uses

• A word must be at least as long as your Shortest word setting, 4 letters to start.
• A word must contain the centre letter.
• A word may use any of the seven letters as many times as it likes.
• No other letters are allowed.

Why your answers may not match a game's list

This page is not part of any newspaper or app and is not affiliated with one. Its words come from SCOWL, a free word list that has common English words and leaves out names, abbreviations and very new words. A particular game keeps its own list. It may accept words that are not here, and it may reject some that are. Use Words to show to trim the rarer words if you want a list closer to everyday vocabulary.

Tips for solving without spoiling it

Start with the hints. If the table says there are 12 five letter words, you know how many to look for. The first two letters list shows you where the gaps are, so you can aim at a beginning such as ar or st and think of words from it. Reveal one group at a time if you can, not the whole list.

How the centre letter changes the count

The same seven letters, A E I L N R T, give a different number of words depending on which one is the centre. These counts use the Most words list with a 4 letter minimum.

The centre letter must be in every word, so a common letter such as E leaves more words and a rarer one leaves fewer. Every row has the same 9 pangrams: internal, inertial, latrine, reliant, interrelate, retinal, triennial, interlinear and ratline.

Words by length for the T hive

Six letter words are the biggest group here. That is the pattern the grid in the tool shows you before you reveal anything.
