Teachers say they use Spelling Bee to connect vocabulary to the curriculum, build classroom community and even spur friendly competition. Since its print debut in 2014 and the introduction of the digital game in 2018, Spelling Bee has spawned a mascot named Beeatrice, an ardent online #HiveMind and daily forums for solvers. The hive-shaped puzzle challenges readers to make as many words as they can from a set of seven unique letters.
