How to Work the Hive
Start with the center letter because every answer must use it. Try common beginnings and endings, and remember that you can reuse letters as often as the word needs.
Find the Pangram
Longer words earn more points. A word that uses all seven hive letters earns an extra seven-point pangram bonus, so keep returning to the full letter set as your score grows.
Use Hints Gradually
Check the remaining word and point totals first, then use the starting-letter counts if you need a stronger nudge. Revealing a word is the final step, and revealed words do not add to your score.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you play the WordHive game?
WordHive hands you seven letters arranged in a ring, with one in the middle highlighted. Build words of four or more letters from those seven - reusing letters is fine - but every word has to include that center letter.
How does scoring and the pangram bonus work?
Four-letter words are worth a point; anything longer is worth a point per letter. Find a "pangram" - a word that uses all seven letters - and you pocket a bonus 7 points. Your total decides your rank, from Starter up to Hive Legend.
Are there hints if I get stuck finding words?
Yes. Show progress to see remaining words, points, and pangrams. Show starts for counts by starting letters and word length. If you need more help, reveal five missing words at a time. Counts do not reduce your score; revealed words earn zero points.
Is there a time limit or daily restriction?
No clock at all. Take as long as you like - your progress saves as you go, so you can close the tab and come back to the same puzzle later. And there's no daily cap or account, so play as many free rounds as you want.
Can I share a puzzle and challenge a friend?
Yep. Hit Challenge a Friend whenever you want and you'll get a link to pass around. Anyone who opens it plays the same seven letters, and you can compare scores and ranks afterwards.
