About Spelling Bee Japanese (スペリングビー, Puzzlega.me)

This is a Japanese-language take on the Spelling Bee format, part of the Puzzlega.me collection of Japanese daily puzzles. Each day brings a honeycomb of seven kana, with one in the yellow centre cell, and the same puzzle and answer list for every player.

You type words made from those kana, and every word must include the centre one. The goal is to find as many valid words as you can and to spot the word that uses all seven kana. Your progress raises your rank for the day, and you can share your result.

A portal page keeps results and answers for past puzzles, and the site offers an optional free cloud backup of your save data. Mobile app versions have been announced, with past-week puzzles and app-only events.

It suits Japanese speakers and learners who enjoy the English Spelling Bee and want the same daily habit in Japanese.
