Spelling Bee Answers: Three Pangrams Around the Letter N
Today's hive is built from M, L, Y, C, A, I around the golden center letter N. Every answer must contain N, and the puzzle hides three pangrams, all of them long, all ending in the same four letters. Here is how I solved it and every word on the list.

Today's Pangrams
Each one uses all seven letters, but none is a perfect pangram, since every one repeats letters. They share the -ICALLY and -ALLY endings, so spotting one makes the other two much easier.

INIMICAL
Word of the Day
Inimical means harmful or hostile, and it is often used for conditions or forces that work against something. A drought is inimical to crops, for example. It gives us today's pangram INIMICALLY once you add -ly, and it shows how the -ICAL stem carries much of this hive.
Key Takeaways
- There are three pangrams today: INIMICALLY, MANIACALLY and MANICALLY.
- N is in every answer, so build outward from it.
- The -IC / -ICAL / -ICALLY ladder is the key: Manic, Maniac, Maniacal, Maniacally.
- The -LY ending gives you Manly, Mainly, Cannily and Anally.
- Doubled letters (Nanny, Ninny, Manna, Cancan) are easy to miss.
- Start with the pangram stems, because each one unlocks several other words.
