Spying Bee's TV Chefs puzzle in play: an 8 by 12 grid with most letters revealed in orange after E and A were tapped, the counter 0/6 words, the timer and the Spy button

Spying Bee is a daily word puzzle on Daily Worder. Each day a themed grid hides a set of words behind blank tiles; you tap letters to see where they sit, swipe through the words you spot, and your solving time is your score.

About Spying Bee (Daily Worder)

Daily Worder publishes a set of small handmade word puzzles every morning, new at 5 AM US Eastern Time and the same for everyone. Spying Bee is its search-and-find puzzle.

Each day's grid has a theme shown above it (TV Chefs on October 17) and a count of the words it hides. Every tile starts hidden. You tap letters on the keyboard to light up every spot where they appear in the grid, then drag through connected letters to spell a word that fits the theme. A Quick Spy button briefly shows what the hidden words are, and a running clock keeps your time, which is your score.

It plays like a word search where you first have to earn the letters, so knowing the theme well matters as much as a quick eye. It is free in the browser and in the Daily Worder app, with no ads and no account needed, alongside Pyramid, Totum, Fourbe and Invertle.

It suits word search fans who like a theme to think about and a time to beat.
