Blossom Word Game is a free daily word puzzle published by Merriam-Webster. Seven letters appear in a honeycomb grid. One sits at the center. Six surround it. Your task is to find every valid English word using those letters \u2014 with every word required to include the center letter and be at least four letters long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A new puzzle appears every day. Points are awarded by word length. Finding the pangram \u2014 a word that uses all seven letters \u2014 earns a bonus. There is no time limit, no account required, and no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has become one of the most played daily word games in the UK<\/a>, attracting players who want something deeper and more rewarding than the quick-finish format of Wordle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rule 1 \u2014 Center letter required.<\/strong> Every word you submit must contain the center letter. Words that skip it are rejected immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rule 2 \u2014 Minimum four letters.<\/strong> Three-letter words are never accepted regardless of how common they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rule 3 \u2014 Letters can repeat.<\/strong> You can use any letter from the grid multiple times in a single word, even though each appears only once in the honeycomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rule 4 \u2014 Dictionary words only.<\/strong> Only words in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary are accepted. Proper nouns, abbreviations, and informal terms do not count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On desktop, type your word using the keyboard and press Enter. On mobile, tap each letter tile and tap Submit. Invalid words are rejected instantly \u2014 no penalty, just try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The puzzle resets every day at midnight. Each day’s puzzle is gone once the new one arrives. There is no official archive of past puzzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Points are based on word length. Longer words earn more \u2014 and not in a simple linear way. Each additional letter adds more value than the last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The average score for regular UK players sits between 70 and 90. Consistently hitting 100+ means you are playing above the general average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A pangram is a word that uses every one of the seven puzzle letters at least once. It still must follow all normal rules \u2014 include the center letter, be in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finding the pangram earns the standard word-length points plus a significant bonus. On most days, it is the single highest-scoring find available. Not every puzzle has a pangram, but when one exists it becomes the primary target for experienced players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Start with the center letter.<\/strong> Look at the center letter first. Think about four-letter words containing it. This filters your vocabulary immediately rather than scanning all seven letters at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Extend every word.<\/strong> Found BAKE? Try BAKER, BAKERS, BAKED, BAKING. Each extension is a separate valid word. Players who skip this leave the easiest points behind every session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Test prefixes.<\/strong> UN-, RE-, OUT-, PRE-. Adding a prefix to a word you have already found often produces another valid entry. FOLD \u2192 UNFOLD, LOAD \u2192 RELOAD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Hunt the pangram last.<\/strong> Play normally for the first two-thirds of your session. In the final stretch, shift to dedicated seven-letter word hunting. This is more efficient than chasing the pangram first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Review what you missed.<\/strong> After each session, check the daily answers page<\/a> for the full word list. Words you did not find are vocabulary targets for future sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blossom suits players who want depth and genuine vocabulary challenge. Wordle suits players who want a quick daily puzzle. Most experienced word game players play both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The game is completely free at all times. No subscription, no account, no payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Browser:<\/strong> Open blossomwordgame.uk<\/a> on any device.
