Hive — Today's Daily Puzzle
Seven letters. One centre. Endless words.
Hive is a free daily word game built on seven letters arranged around one centre letter. Make as many words as you can — every word must use the centre letter, letters may repeat, and a pangram using all seven scores big. Free to play, no signup, and a new letter set arrives daily at 00:00 UTC.

Open a hint only when you are stuck — they are ordered from gentlest to most direct, and none of them give the answer away.
Hint 1: Hunt the pangram first
Scan the seven letters for a plausible suffix — ING, TION, ABLE — and try to build around it. Finding the pangram early usually unlocks several shorter words that share its stem.
Hint 2: Work in prefix families
Once a word scores, immediately test its relatives: RE-, UN-, -ED, -ER, -S where allowed. Batch-testing a stem is far more productive than jumping between unrelated ideas.
Hint 3: Say the letters out loud in pairs
Most missed words come from letter combinations you never attempt. Pronouncing pairs surfaces clusters like CH, TH and GL that your eye skips on a hexagonal layout.
We never publish the solution here — the daily board is shared by every player worldwide.
