Heads up — this shows the hardest word of the day.

⭐ Today’s Pangram
ENCAMPMENT
Uses all 7 letters — worth 17 points

With T required in every answer, the June 24, 2026 NYT Spelling Bee was one of the more word-rich puzzle — 64 valid words in all.

With 64 valid words, this was an unusually large puzzle — patient, systematic solvers had plenty of material to work with. The outer letters were A, C, E, M, N, P, and the longest answer aside from the pangram ran 10 letters for 10 points. Reaching Genius required 204 points out of a possible 292; see how this compares in the full answers archive.

At 17 points, the pangram was the most valuable single word in the grid. 25 of the 64 answers were 4-letter words worth 1 point each, so the real climb toward Genius came from the longer finds — our Genius strategy guide breaks down how to spot them.
