Terms of Service

Terms of Service

Nobody loves reading these. We’ll keep it plain.

1. What you’re getting

Daily puzzle answers, hints, a word solver, and strategy guides for the NYT Spelling Bee. It’s all here for your personal use, so you can have more fun with the puzzle. That’s the whole deal.

2. About accuracy

We check the answers every morning and we take it seriously. But puzzles can be tricky, and our solver works from a general English dictionary that doesn’t match the Times’ official word list word for word. When in doubt, the New York Times’ own answers win. Every time.

3. Play fair

Read everything, share links with your friends, learn all you want. Just don’t copy whole pages and republish them as your own work.

4. Whose is what

Spelling Bee belongs to The New York Times, trademarks and all. The writing, design, and tools on this site are ours.

5. Not affiliated

Independent site. Not the Times, not endorsed by the Times.

6. As is

The site comes as is, no warranties attached. We’re puzzle people, not lawyers, and nothing here counts as professional advice.

7. If these change

We might update these terms now and then. Keep using the site and we’ll take that as a yes to the current version.
