Spelling Bee hints and answers for Monday, September 28, 2026

Center letter T (required in every word) · Outer letters: C, D, N, O, R, U

A Monday Bee on the podium: 45 words, 198 points in total and Genius at 138, built around the center letter T with two pangrams, both from the CONDUCT- family - one for the person who leads the orchestra and one for a material that will not carry a current. The OUT- run and the TROUT / TORT cluster do much of the heavy work.

Hints, in order

Hint 0 of 3

Tap to show one hint at a time.

Hint 1 of 3

Every word must contain the center letter T. Words are at least 4 letters long, and letters can repeat.

Hint 2 of 3 - Pangrams

There are two pangrams today, both built on the CONDUCT- stem: a nine-letter one for the person who leads an orchestra or collects fares on a train, and a twelve-letter one that adds the prefix NON- for a material that will not conduct electricity or heat.

Hint 3 of 3 - Stuck?

Work the CONDUCT- family first (conduct, conductor, nonconductor), then the OUT- run (outdo, outdoor, outro, outrun, turnout), the COCONUT / CONCOCT / COTTON cluster, and the short TROT set (toro, tort, toot, trod, trout).

The pangrams

Two words use all seven letters: C, D, N, O, R, T, U.
