If you’re here, you’re probably trying to crack today’s Spelling Bee puzzle or double-check if you’ve found the pangram. Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! Today’s Spelling Bee was a fun challenge featuring some tricky letter combinations, but once you see the pattern, it all clicks. Let me walk you through how I solved it and share the complete list of possible words.

Today’s Letters

The center letter is P, and the outer letters are: R, L, D, I, Y, A

Remember, the rules are:

• Use the letter P in every word.

• Words must be at least four letters long.

• Letters can be repeated.

First Impressions

When I saw the letter set, the first thing that came to mind was that P has to appear in every word. With letters like R, L, D, I, A, Y, we have a good mix of consonants and vowels. Instantly, words like play, pray, and pair came to mind. But I needed the big prize—the pangram.

Finding the Pangram

The key was to think about words that use all seven letters: P, R, L, D, I, Y, A. After a few tries and shuffling the letters in my head, the pangram became clear:

PANGRAM: RAPIDLY

It perfectly fits the requirement of using all the letters at least once. It’s such a satisfying word because it’s common enough to guess if you think of words that describe speed or movement.

How I Solved It

I started by jotting down easy four-letter words like:

• play

• pray

• pair

• pial

Then, I moved on to five and six-letter words, exploring combinations with repeated letters. As I kept rearranging, I focused on common prefixes and suffixes like “-ly,” “-al,” and “-id.” That’s when rapid came up, and adding “ly” made perfect sense—boom, pangram solved!
