Spelling Bee gives players seven letters in a honeycomb with one letter in the middle. They make words of four letters or more using only those letters, reusing letters as often as they like, and every word has to contain the middle letter. A word that uses all seven letters is a pangram and scores a bonus. When their score reaches the target you set, your final coordinates or keyword are revealed. The word list and the final answer stay on the server, so nothing is hidden in the page for a player to peek at.

Your puzzle
Shown to players as a link to your cache page.
Only the site admin can see this, in case they need to reach you about your cache. Never shown to players.
The seven letters
Type any word that uses exactly seven different letters. Those letters become the honeycomb, and the word itself becomes a pangram players can find. The letter S is not allowed, because it turns every word into a free plural.
Surprise me picks a puzzle we have already measured, so you know exactly how many words it holds before you publish.
Every word a player finds must use this one.
When does it unlock?
70 percent is the classic "Genius" bar. Lower it for a friendlier cache, raise it for a brutal one.
Any words count, short ones included. Must not be more than the puzzle holds.
On solve, reveal
Shown only after a player reaches your target. Reveal either the final coordinates or a keyword, not both.
Where can I host an image for free?
Paste a direct https:// link to an image. Free image hosts that give a direct link include
ImgBB,
postimages.org, and
Cloudinary.
A geocaching.com image link works too. The link must start with https://.
Keep your cache in play to keep it live. Share the play link so people visit it; unused caches are cleaned up over time.
