Spelling Bee November 4, 2026: Pangram & Answers

edited by Sam Ezersky.

Recap

The puzzle featured a challenging but rewarding set of words, including the seven-letter pangram 'ATROPHY'. Solvers enjoyed finding words like 'HOORAY', 'PARROT', and 'TROPHY', which used the center letter 'O' effectively. The puzzle's themes of praise, food, and medicine helped solvers uncover many of the 68 accepted words.

The seven letters

O AHPRTY

Every answer had to use O. The board accepted 68 words in all.
