About Spelling Bee (Lessgames)
This Spelling Bee is not the honeycomb puzzle of the same name. It is the school contest: a word is read out and you spell it. It is one of the daily games on Lessgames, the site behind Wordless, Songless, Moreless, Clueless and Mapless.
Each day has one set of five words, the same for everyone, and they get harder from the first round to the fifth. Press the green speaker to hear the word again. A Definition button and a Sentence button give the help a speller would ask for in a real bee. You type on the on-screen keyboard or your own and press Enter. The round marker turns green for a correct spelling, and the game moves on to the next word.
At the end you can share a row of results showing which rounds you spelled right. Signing in keeps your stats, and a Lessgames subscription opens every past day in the archive and takes the ads away.
It suits good spellers, word lovers and anyone who remembers standing up at a school spelling bee.

Tips
- Listen to the word more than once before you type. The speaker button replays it.
- Read the example sentence when two words sound the same.
- Think about where a word comes from. Greek, Latin and French roots follow their own spelling patterns.
