Spelling Bee hints, rung by rung

Six rungs, counts before words. The recap above already named the pangram, so this ladder is here for anyone replaying the board fresh rather than as a spoiler shield.

  1. What kind of words the board rewarded

    No answer is named.

    Many answers cluster around common -ed and -ing verb forms. Others centre on familiar word pairs like 'to' and 'ed' endings. Digging into -ute and -ouch combinations pays off.

  2. How many answers started with each letter

    The seven-letter solution ties together several shorter words, using the centre letter in a key role. Look for a verb that describes a common social interaction.
