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.

    The list is heavy on words that use common pairs like DU, HU, and UN, with many verbs and adjectives that add -ed or -ing to a base form.
