How to play Word Hive

Make as many words as you can from seven letters in the hive. Every word uses the center letter.

The rules

1. Make words of 4 or more letters using the letters in the hive.
2. Every word must include the center letter. Letters can be used more than once.
3. 4-letter words score 1 point; longer words score 1 point per letter. A word that uses all seven letters earns 7 bonus points.
4. Reach the goal score to finish. You can keep going to find every word.

How to get started

1. Type or tap letters, then press Enter. The center letter must be in every word.
2. Start with short, common words: 4 or 5 letters.
3. Try adding endings to words you found, such as -ING, -ED, or -ER.
4. Hunt for the word that uses all seven letters. It is worth 7 extra points.
5. Shuffle the outer letters to see new patterns. Hint shows the start of a word you have not found.

A tip

Pair the center letter with each outer letter in turn and say the sounds out loud. Words often appear that way.
