How Spelling Bee works
You get seven letters in a honeycomb. Make words of four or more letters that always include the centre letter; letters can be reused. Four-letter words score 1 point, longer words score 1 point per letter, and a pangram earns 7 bonus points. The ranks run from Beginner up to Genius, and finding every word makes you Queen Bee.
