Damn, I suck at this. I tried to do kingcock or something, but it didn't work.

I stopped doing the spelling game but I imagine Cockring, while getting a bonus for using all letters, is not included in the acceptable word list.

Apologies, never played this, but: it looks like it’s designed to only allow you to traverse through adjacent tiles. But responses here make it sound like you can pick any letter as the next letter. If so… why is it designed like that?

All words you spell must include the central letter, adjacency doesn't matter.

The design is a bit of a visual joke combining the concept of a "spelling bee" competition with the honeycombs of literal bees.

I might be missing something because I only see 7 letters, but whatever. Here you go.

You can reuse letters

That makes sense. Thanks

I've never played this. Can you use a letter twice? Or is it only the middle one? I see only one 'c'.

Edit: Dammit, ment to reply to the "cockring" comment.

You can use any letter as much as you like, just needs to be more than 4 letters and use the middle letter.
