What Time Does NYT Spelling Bee Come Out Each Day?

A new NYT Spelling Bee is released each day at midnight PST, 3 a.m. EST. Everyone gets the same game at the same time, regardless of location.

This contrasts Wordle, a daily word game that resets at midnight local time. In other words, a player in New York gets a new puzzle at 12 a.m., but a player in Seattle will still have the previous day’s word, because it is still 9 p.m. where they are. We’ve configured our daily Wordle hints page accordingly. You’ll always get clues relevant to the game you are playing. 

What Is NY Times Spelling Bee Genius Level?

As you find words and accumulate points, you’ll also ascend through a series of ranks or titles. Genius is the highest rank you can achieve in the NY Times Spelling Bee game. Somewhere between 12 and 45 percent of all players reach Genius each day.

You start the game with “beginner” status, progressing through to good start, moving up, good, solid, nice, great, and amazing. Genius comes after that. The number of words you need to find and how many words you need to find to earn the Genius rank varies from day to day.

What Is Queen Bee in NYT Spelling Bee?

Yes, you can do even better than Genius rank. If you find all the NYT Spelling Bee answers on a given daily puzzle, you earn Queen Bee status. It’s a title you can share with pride. 

Some related acronyms include: 

• QB - Queen Bee

• QBABM - Queen Bee All By Myself

• QB-1 - Missing one word from Queen Bee 

• QBWg - Queen Bee With Google

Humbly, we might suggest QBwWF (Queen Bee With WordFinder®) too. 

What Is a Good Score on NYT Spelling Bee?

Because the number of words in the puzzle can vary so widely each day, there is no expected standard for what is a “good score” in Spelling Bee. The best way to gauge your performance is to watch your rank and the associated progress bar until you get to Genius. 

What Does Bingo Mean in Spelling Bee?

“Bingo” means different things in different games. In the actual game of bingo, it’s usually when you complete a line on your game card. If you’re playing Scrabble® or Words With Friends®, you earn a bingo bonus when you play all seven letters on your tile rack. A bingo in the NYT Spelling Bee is when you’ve created words that start each of the seven letters at least once. 

What Is a Pangram in the NYT Spelling Bee?

Similar to a bingo in Scrabble, a pangram is a Spelling Bee answer that uses each of the seven letters at least once. You earn a bonus of seven points when you find a pangram. There is always at least one pangram; some puzzles have more than one pangram. 

Also, remember that you can repeat letters in this word puzzle. So, the pangram could be longer than seven letters. We will always include all pangrams among our list of today’s NYT Spelling Bee answers. 

Why Is There No S in Spelling Bee?

Editor Sam Ezersky says that including an S in the word puzzle would make the game too easy. So, you’ll never find the letter S in the NYT Spelling Bee. Plurals do exist, though.

What Is the NY Times Spelling Bee Hivemind?

Collectively, fans of the NY Times Spelling Bee are called the Hivemind. One of the best places to participate in the community conversation is by following the #hivemind hashtag on Twitter. The r/NYTSpellingBee subreddit on Reddit is great too.
