Spelling Bee August 14, 2026: Pangram & Answers

edited by Sam Ezersky.

Recap

The puzzle had a good mix of short and long words. Solvers had to think creatively to come up with words like ADAMANT, IMAGINING, and MANDATING. The centre letter M was key to unlocking many answers.

The seven letters

M ADGINT

Every answer had to use M. The board accepted 62 words in all.
