I'm excited to share a project I've been working on called Spelling Bee Hints — a free resource for New York Times Spelling Bee enthusiasts.
As someone who plays daily, I know how frustrating it can be to get stuck on those last few words.
So I built this tool to help without completely spoiling the fun!What you'll find on the site:
Smart hints instead of direct answers (keeps the challenge alive!)
Word count by length so you know what you're missing
Pangram clues without giving it all away
Archive of past puzzles to practice and improve
Clean, mobile-friendly interface for quick referenceI designed it with the philosophy that hints are more satisfying than straight-up answers. You still get that "aha!" moment when you find the word yourself.
The site is completely free — no ads, no paywall, just a simple tool I made because I genuinely enjoy the puzzle and wanted to give back to the community.
Check it out here: https://spellingbhints.com/I'd really appreciate any feedback! If you have ideas for features (maybe difficulty ratings, letter pattern hints, or community stats?), I'm all ears. Still learning and improving it based on what players actually need.
Has anyone else here built tools for word games? Would love to connect and share notes!
Happy puzzling, and I hope this helps some of you reach Genius level more often!
