Tips & Tricks for Spelling Hex

Tip #1

1. Start with short words

Four- and five-letter words help you rack up points quickly and check off the easier finds first. Then it's time to go after the longer words and really dig in.

Tip #2

2. Think in word families

Found a word? Try variations of it. You might be able to make it plural, switch up the tense, or use a different verb form to unlock more entries.

Tip #3

3. Reuse letters

Think you've run out of words? Don't forget, you can use each letter more than once per word. That opens up a whole lot of new possibilities.

Tip #4

4. No time pressure

There's no timer ticking away, no limited number of tries, and no penalty for wrong guesses. So take it easy and play at your own pace.

Tip #5

5. Hunt for the Pangram

Don't just go for long words. Also try to find words that use all seven letters. These so-called Pangrams earn you a nice bonus points boost.

Tip #6

6. Always Keep Spelling Bee in Mind

If you're familiar with Spelling Bee, the Zaphira Games version of this word puzzle will come naturally to you. So don't be nervous — it only blocks your thinking. Just relax and enjoy the fun!

Points are mainly based on the length of the words you find. Short words earn you a few points; longer combinations earn significantly more. The biggest points boost comes from the Pangram, a word that uses all seven letters. Hit one of those and you'll score a nice chunk of bonus points. At the end of each round, you get a summary of your performance and your personal rank, which you can compare with other players. Are you a word wizard who can make it to the top of the leaderboard?
