Today’s NYT Spelling Bee Pangram and Word List – June 20, 2025

Solving today’s New York Times Spelling Bee was a delightful challenge! The center letter was P, meaning every word had to include this letter. Surrounding it were the letters A, H, L, T, B, and E — a moderately flexible mix that offered a few long words but also many tricky short ones.

Step-by-Step: How I Solved the Pangram

My approach began with scanning for possible suffixes and prefixes. With P in the center, I focused on high-frequency consonant clusters like -ple, pre-, and ph-.

Next, I mentally listed common words that could possibly combine P with the other available letters. Noticing B, L, and A, I quickly found:

Alphabet — the perfect pangram! It uses all the letters and fits beautifully.

With that, I was confident the puzzle would yield a solid word count.

Strategies That Helped Me

  1. Start with 4-letter words – These add up fast.

  2. Spot the prefixes/suffixes – Like -ple, pre-, -able.

  3. Look for plurals and different verb forms – “bap” becomes “baps”, “tap” becomes “taps”.

  4. Use word families – Once I found path, I immediately searched for paths, pathal, pathel, etc.

Insights from the Hive

What made this puzzle especially fun was the balance of easy 4-letter words and tricky longer ones. The inclusion of “alphabet” as the pangram felt appropriate — almost poetic — in a word game.

Puzzles like today’s remind me why I play Spelling Bee daily. They stretch the mind, build vocabulary, and deliver that mini dopamine hit when the pangram finally clicks!

If you’re struggling to find more words, take a step back and try reordering the letters aloud — or even write them down in different groupings. Sometimes your brain needs that extra nudge.

Keep Buzzing

How many words did you find today? Did you catch the pangram early or struggle until the end?  If no, don’t worry you can come back tomorrow for another daily breakdown of the NYT Spelling Bee!
