Play Hive

Hive gives you seven letters in a honeycomb. Make words of four letters or more using only those letters, and every word must include the center letter. Score points for each find; pangrams that use all seven letters earn a bonus. Reach Genius โ€” about four-fifths of the maximum score โ€” to finish the daily.

How to play

Make words from seven letters. Tap letters or slide across the hive to build a word. Every answer must be at least four letters, use only the hive letters, and include the center letter.

Do not skip the center. A word that ignores the center letter will not score, even if it is in the dictionary.

Score points toward Genius. Four-letter words are worth one point. Longer words score their length. Pangrams that use every letter earn a +7 bonus.

Do not repeat a found word. Once a word is accepted it stays on your list. Submitting it again wastes a turn.
