You are given seven letters arranged as a honeycomb, with one letter in the middle. Your job is to build as many words as you can from those letters.
Make words that are four letters or longer.
Every word must use the centre letter (the amber one in the middle).
You can use a letter more than once in the same word.
Type with your keyboard or tap the letters, then press Enter. Use Delete to remove a letter and the shuffle button to rearrange the outer letters.
A word that uses all seven letters is a pangram — it scores a big bonus.
Stuck? Open Clues to see the words you’re looking for, or tap Hint for a nudge.
How scoring works
A four-letter word scores 1 point, and longer words score one point per letter, so longer words are worth more. A pangram adds a 7-point bonus. As your score grows you climb a rank ladder from Starting out all the way up to Hive Hero.
Only real, level-graded words count
BuzzWords doesn’t accept just any letter combination — the words you’re hunting for come from the same graded vocabulary lists used across the site, matched to CEFR levels from Pre-A1 up to B1. That means every word you find is a word worth learning at your level, and you can check the meaning of any word as you go. If a real English word isn’t accepted, it simply isn’t one of today’s target words.
Tips
Start with short, common words to get points on the board, then build longer ones.
Shuffle the outer letters when you get stuck — a new arrangement can spark an idea.
Turn on Clues to play it as a guided “spell the word that means…” puzzle.
Play the daily puzzle to build a streak, or open the same puzzle as classmates from a shared link.
Who it’s for
BuzzWords is made for English language learners, especially younger students working at CEFR levels Pre-A1 to B1. It builds spelling, vocabulary recall and word-building together, and works well as a warm-up, a homework activity, or a quick brain-stretch in class.
