Spelling Bee hints and answers for Wednesday, October 14, 2026
A Wednesday Bee with a small, strange board: 23 words, 90 points in total and Genius at 63, built on a hive with an X in it and just one pangram to find. Short words do the heavy lifting here, and a ship's keel hides a vegetable in reverse.
Hints, in order
Hint 0 of 3Tap to show one hint at a time.
Every word must contain the center letter E. Words are at least 4 letters long, and letters can repeat.
There is one pangram today: a seven-letter adjective for something shaped like a box, built from BOX plus a suffix that means resembling.
Look for word families: BELL and BELLE, LIBEL and LIBELEE, the X cluster (exile, ibex, boxlike, oxlike), and a neat reversal pair hiding in plain sight: KEEL and LEEK.
The pangram
It uses all seven letters: B, E, I, K, L, O, X.
