Today’s Spelling Bee was a thrilling brain workout, and if you’re like me, you probably stared at the hive for a good while before the pangram finally clicked. With T in the center and the letters A, R, U, F, P, D, and T, the possibilities were both tricky and delightful. Let’s walk through how I cracked the puzzle and the pangram for today!
The Center Letter: T
The rule is clear—every word must contain the center letter T. That immediately eliminates some obvious decoys (like “pad” or “fur”) and helps narrow down our focus. From here, I began scanning for possible letter combinations and rooting out short but valid words.
Step-by-Step Thought Process
-
Scanning for Common Prefixes and Suffixes:
-
I started with common endings like -ed, -er, -ing, and -ful. With T in the center, combinations like -ted and -ter stood out.
-
I looked at possible prefixes too: pre-, re-, un- don’t apply here, but combinations like pat-, rat-, or tur- caught my eye.
-
-
Identifying Nouns and Verbs:
-
Draft, part, dart, trapt, and rapt were some of the early finds.
-
I knew the pangram had to be a longer word, ideally using at least 7 unique letters from the hive.
-
-
Testing Longer Combinations:
-
The letters A, R, U, T, F, D, P stood out. After rearranging them a few times, I spotted the word…
-
Today’s Pangram: UPDRAFT
Yes! That satisfying “ding” of recognition came when I typed in updraft—a strong vertical current of air. It perfectly used all seven letters and passed the center-letter test.

Tips for Cracking Future Puzzles
-
Look for unusual pairings: Sometimes, the rarest word is the right one—just like updraft.
-
Don’t ignore short words: Building momentum with 4-letter words helps you unlock patterns.
-
Use pen and paper: It’s old school, but physically jotting down combos can jog your brain.
-
Take a break: If you hit a wall, stepping away often helps you come back with fresh eyes.
