Spelling Bee hints and answers for Tuesday, October 6, 2026
A Tuesday Bee with a deep board: 62 words, 340 points in total and Genius at 238, built around the center letter C with a single seven-letter pangram for something marked with a notch. The CON- opening does much of the early work, and the long CONCOCT, CONNECT and CONTEND families reward anyone who keeps adding endings.
