Today’s Spelling Bee was a satisfying blend of logic, vocabulary depth, and wordplay patience. With R as the center letter and a honeycomb filled with I, M, A, N, O, L, the goal was clear: find as many valid words as possible that include R, and ideally uncover the pangram that ties all seven letters together.
Let’s walk through how I tackled today’s challenge, what strategies worked best, and, of course, reveal the elusive pangram of the day.
How I Solved Today’s Puzzle
As always, I began by noting the center letter — R, which must be used in every word. I immediately eliminated common short combinations that didn’t include it. That narrows the field and helps you focus on the possibilities.
The surrounding letters I, M, A, N, O, L gave off a balanced feel: some vowels, some consonants, and potential for both short and long constructions. The presence of A, I, O offered great vowel flexibility, while M, N, L hinted at possible endings like -al, -or, and -ian.
I began jotting down short base words like:
-
Roam
-
Rain
-
Rail
-
Liar
-
Roar
Then I shifted to experimenting with longer variations, like:
-
Nominal
-
Marinal
-
Morinal
-
Finally… Manorial
And there it was – a beautiful 8-letter pangram!
The Pangram: Manorial
manorial (adj.): relating to a manor or the system of manorialism.
This word includes every one of the puzzle’s seven letters: M, A, N, O, R, I, L, and it satisfies all the rules.
It’s one of those classic pangrams that doesn’t jump out right away but makes you feel smart when it finally clicks.

What Made Today’s Puzzle Unique
This puzzle required a mix of pattern recognition and vocabulary memory. Words like nominal, molar, and ramal don’t often come up in everyday use, so this puzzle favored players with broader lexicons.
What also made it special was the elegant pangram. “Manorial” may sound like a term from a medieval economics class, but it’s a great find that uses all the letters efficiently and meaningfully.
Solving Tips That Helped Today
-
Start with the Core – Use the center letter to filter possibilities quickly.
-
Think Adjectives – Words ending in -al, -ial, or -ian are often longer and might include more letters.
-
Syllable Stacking – Try combining 2-3 syllable patterns using available consonants and vowels.
-
Don’t Overlook Short Words – They’re your stepping stones to unlocking longer ones.
-
Use Word Families – E.g., roam → roamer → roaming.
