Spelling Bee hints and answers for Tuesday, September 29, 2026
A compact Tuesday Bee with invention at its heart: 32 words, 180 points in total and Genius at 126, built around the center letter V with a single seven-letter pangram for turning down a proposal. The INVENT- run and the VOT- / VET- pair do much of the heavy work.
Hints, in order
Hint 0 of 3Tap to show one hint at a time.
Every word must contain the center letter V. Words are at least 4 letters long, and letters can repeat.
There is one pangram today: a seven-letter verb in its -ING form, for exercising the power to reject a bill or a proposal.
Work the INVENT- run first (invent, inventing, invention, inventive), then INVIT- (invite, invitee, inviting), the VOTE / VETO families with their -ING forms, and the EVEN pair (even, evening, event, nonevent).
