NYT Spelling Bee
The New York Times Spelling Bee is a daily online word puzzle where players make as many words as possible from seven letters, aiming to find at least one “pangram” that uses them all. The game rewards vocabulary knowledge, pattern recognition, and persistence, with difficulty ramping up as you go. Families and teens enjoy it as a low-prep language warm-up or evening brain teaser. It’s best for strong readers in middle school and up, including adults. Full access requires a New York Times Games subscription, but many treat it as a shared family challenge. Discussing tricky words and looking them up together turns play into rich vocabulary study.
