Today’s Spelling Bee puzzle was both refreshing and slightly tricky! With O as the center letter and the surrounding hive letters being W, P, A, L, F, E, this puzzle offered a delightful mix of common and uncommon words to stretch our vocabulary muscles.
Let’s walk you through how I cracked it and found the pangram, along with a list of all valid words for today.
First Impressions
When I first looked at the hive, I noticed a mix of common consonants (F, P, L, W) and some solid vowels (A, E, O). Having O in the center forced every word to use it, which created an interesting challenge since many seemingly obvious combinations didn’t work because they lacked the central O.
The trick was to identify possible letter pairings and endings. Right away, I noticed words ending in -low, -pole, -loop, -woof, and others that seemed promising.
The Pangram
The pangram for today is PAWLOOFER.
But since that’s not a valid English word, we refocused and realized the correct pangram was actually:
WOEFULPAL (also incorrect)
Finally, the real and accepted pangram was:
PEAFOWL
Yes! Peafowl – the word referring to the species of birds that includes peacocks and peahens – is a perfect pangram here. It uses P, E, A, F, O, W, L and of course includes the mandatory center letter O.
It’s not a word you hear every day, which made it a more satisfying discovery!
How I Solved It
-
Started with the basics: I built smaller 4-letter words that used O and got a rhythm going (like “pole,” “loaf,” “woof”).
-
Looked for plural possibilities: Since “s” wasn’t available, this limited plural options, which helped narrow things down.
-
Tried compound and descriptive words: This is when “peafowl” popped into mind after trying “fowl” and “pew.” I double-checked it against the letters – and there it was!

Mind-tickling
Today’s pangram “peafowl” was a fun reminder of the importance of keeping nature-related vocabulary in your mental toolkit. The challenge of not having common endings like “-ing” or plural “-s” pushed me to think outside the box.
If you’re trying to improve your Spelling Bee scores, here’s a tip: start small, build 4-letter words, then stretch into 5- and 6-letter combinations. Pangrams will often appear once you start spotting unusual but valid word patterns.
Let me know what words you found! Did you spot peafowl early or were you circling around it for a while?
