Spelling Hive: play a word hive puzzle online free

Spelling Hive is a word puzzle with seven letters on a flower. Six mint petals sit around a coral middle. Make words of four or more letters, and every word must use the middle letter.
Letters can be used again and again. Longer words score more, and a word that uses all seven letters earns a big bonus. Reach the goal rank to clear a level, and keep going if you like, all the way to Every Word.

How to play
- Open the game and start at level 1. Each level shows a flower of seven letters and a goal rank.

- You can use a letter more than once in a word.
- A 4 letter word scores 1 point. A longer word scores 1 point a letter. A word that uses all seven letters earns 7 bonus points.
- Delete takes back a letter, and Shuffle mixes the petals. Your found words are listed on the page.
- Reach the goal rank to win the level, and play on if you want more. If you give up before the goal, the game shows every word. On a keyboard, type letters, press Enter, Backspace deletes and Space shuffles.
Tips
- There is never an S on the flower, so there are no plurals to find. Try endings like -ED, -ER and -ING when the letters allow.
- Look for the word that uses all seven letters. It is worth 7 bonus points, and every puzzle has at least one.
- Shuffle when you are stuck. Seeing the petals in a new order can bring a new word to mind.
