With a fresh new Spelling Bee grid this morning, I was eager to dive in. Today’s puzzle had A at the center, surrounded by the letters V, I, T, E, C, P — and that made for a surprisingly dynamic combination.

At first glance, it may not have seemed too generous with vowels, but it held the potential for some longer, satisfying finds. Let’s dive into how I uncovered the pangram and all the valid words in this buzzing challenge.

First Steps: Breaking Down the Hive

The first step, as always, is scanning the letters for potential word families and common suffixes or prefixes. With A as the central letter (required in every word), my mind instantly started seeing action verbs and suffix possibilities like -ate, -ive, or -ic.

Among the surrounding letters, P, T, and V opened up possibilities for strong consonant anchors, while E and I helped balance the vowel load. I began piecing together combinations:

  • cape, pave, pact, pace, tape, captivate…

And that’s when it hit me.

Pangram Discovery: Captivate

Today’s pangram is CAPTIVATE — an energizing, elegant word meaning to attract and hold the interest and attention of someone. It’s the kind of word that gives you that Aha! moment — crisp, powerful, and wonderfully thematic for a word game!

Once I found the pangram, the puzzle became a lot easier to navigate. Suddenly, related words like captive, caveat, tap, cape, and active began falling into place.

Strategy I Used

To get the most out of today’s hive, I followed a simple process:

  1. Start Small – I began with 4-letter words to get the juices flowing (pave, pact, tape).

  2. Look for Extensions – Using those short words, I began expanding (captivate from captive, active from act).

  3. Test Combinations Visually – Sometimes just staring at the hexagons helps the brain connect unseen words. This is how I found caveat.

  4. Save the Rare Consonants for Surprises – V and P ended up being goldmines once the pangram was revealed.

The Last Buzz

Today’s pangram, captivate, truly lived up to its name — it captured the spirit of the puzzle perfectly. With a center letter like A and a range of vibrant consonants and vowels, the puzzle gave just enough resistance to feel rewarding while staying accessible.

The Spelling Bee is a great reminder that language is both logical and magical — you never know which letters will form your next big word breakthrough.

How many words did you find? Did captivate jump out at you or did you stumble across it like I did?

Until tomorrow — stay sharp, stay curious, and keep buzzing!
