Material Detail

A free, browser-based maker for seven-letter word puzzles in the style of the daily Spelling Bee. Teachers, tutors and students enter one center letter and six different outer letters, and the tool checks how many everyday words and pangrams the letters make (a pangram uses all seven letters). It then gives a link that opens the custom puzzle for anyone, free, in any browser. No account is needed, and each player's progress is saved on their own device.

Useful for vocabulary review, spelling practice and class warm-ups: start from a seven-letter target word with no repeated letters and share the puzzle with learners. The same site offers a free daily puzzle at https://www.beehints.com/play and a glossary of game terms at https://www.beehints.com/glossary. BeeHints is an independent site and is not affiliated with The New York Times.
