Spelling Wasp is a clone of The New York Times Spelling Bee. The goal is to guess as many words as you can, using letters from the hive, with the following restrictions:
- You must use the center letter
- Words must be 4 letters or longer
- The words you guess must be valid English words (with some exceptions, such as slurs)
- You can't guess the same word twice in the same game
- Swear words are allowed
Each correct guess adds points to your score. A 4-letter word is worth 1 point, and longer words are worth 1 point per letter used. You can use the same letter multiple times. So for example, "echo" will yield 1 point, and "echoes" will yield 6 points.
Every possible game of Spelling Wasp contains at least one pangram. A pangram is a word that uses all 7 letters from the hive. These are worth 7 extra points, on top of however many points you got from the word itself. For example, "balding" will earn you 14 points, and "dabbling" will earn you 15 points (1 per letter used, and 7 extra for being a pangram).
Each rank you achieve is for scoring a percentage of all possible points in the puzzle.
Try guessing as many words as possible, and aim for a 50% score. You officially win at 70%, and anything after that is for bragging rights. A new puzzle is available every day at 0:00 UTC.
It's okay to miss some words, it's unreasonable to expect a 100% score every day. The results for yesterday's game will always be available. You can study which words you missed, and you can even look up the definitions for whatever words you'd like! Try tapping or clicking on a word for some quick links (WIP).
