About the service and these terms
SpellingBeeAnswers.app is an independent browser-based tool operated by Dunedin Studio in Scotland, UK. It helps you find dictionary-derived candidate words for spelling bee-style puzzles. These Terms & Conditions describe use of the service.
The contact email for the operator is thedunedinstudio@gmail.com.
Independent status
This website is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by The New York Times or the publishers of other spelling bee games. Names of third-party games identify compatible mechanics or explain use cases. They do not imply partnership, approval or ownership of those games.
Candidate words and regional dictionaries
Results are candidates derived from the selected dictionary and supported rules. Different games use different accepted-word lists and editorial policies. A candidate, pangram or point total shown here does not guarantee acceptance in another game. NYT-style results are not the official NYT answer list, a live daily answer feed or a verified archive.
The five choices are US English, UK English, Canadian English, Australian English and All Dictionaries. Regional spelling and source membership affect results. All Dictionaries is the default deduplicated union of eligible words from the four regions; it is not their intersection. Distinct spelling variants remain distinct candidates. Dictionary inclusion is not an endorsement of a word’s use or meaning.
No independently verified numerical accuracy claim is made. An unusual word, omission or spelling distinction can be reported through Contact Us.
Solver modes, pangrams and scoring
Spelling Bee Solver uses the general seven-letter setup, repeated letters and words of at least four letters, with a selectable center requirement and no forced score. NYT Spelling Bee Solver uses seven distinct letters, a required center, repeated letters and a minimum length of four.
Under NYT-style scoring, four-letter words earn one point, longer words earn one point per letter and pangrams receive seven extra points. Custom Rules supports three to twelve distinct letters, optional center requirements, length limits, repeated-letter settings and compatible scoring options. Unsupported combinations are explained by the tool.
Pangrams and scores reflect the selected settings and available candidates. They are not a promise of a particular external-game rank, winning result or official total. Check the rules of your own game.
Reasonable and acceptable use
Use the tool lawfully and respect other people’s rights. Do not attempt unauthorized access, inject malicious content, interfere with the service, bypass security controls or abuse contact channels. Do not use automated requests in a way that disrupts availability. These conditions do not create an artificial quota on ordinary puzzle solving.
Free access and availability
The current tool is free to use, with no required account, installed app or artificial daily solving limit. This describes the present product; it is not a promise of permanent capacity, unchanged features or an unchanging business model.
Maintenance, outages, errors, network conditions or review requirements may interrupt or change the service. Availability, error-free operation, completeness and accuracy are not absolutely guaranteed. We may correct or suspend features where reasonably necessary for security, lawful operation or maintenance.
Artwork, software, dictionary sources and names
Site-created artwork and interface material are distinct from third-party names, national symbols, dictionary sources and open-source software. No exclusive ownership of dictionary words, publishers’ trademarks or other third-party source material is claimed.
The dictionary build uses the English Speller Database (ESDB) with upstream provenance and licensing notices, including the applicable Australian-source notices. The selected release includes its required notices and recorded modifications; see Dictionary attribution below. Open-source software remains subject to its respective licenses. Original artwork authorship does not override any separate rights in represented symbols.
Privacy, email and external services
Read the Privacy Policy for local puzzle processing, preferences, hosting and email. Where configured, optional Google Analytics and Hive participation each require your choice in Privacy settings. Solving works with either option off. The Hive counts recorded successful solver searches, including repeats and zero-match searches—not unique puzzles or game wins.
Email links open your chosen email application and do not submit a website form. Your email provider and the operator’s mailbox provider handle correspondence under their own arrangements. If you choose to follow an external link, that destination is responsible for its own content and practices; this does not remove any duties that applicable law places on this operator.
Dictionary attribution
Dictionary data derives from the English Speller Database (ESDB), including its Australian-source notices. The selected release preserves the full upstream notices and records its modifications. Region membership does not guarantee acceptance by any publisher.
Limitations and your legal rights
The tool is supplied for puzzle assistance. Check candidate words and scores against the rules and accepted-word list of your game. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no additional warranty of uninterrupted service or universal word acceptance is offered.
These terms do not exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or remove mandatory consumer or data-protection rights. No blanket waiver, monetary liability cap or mandatory arbitration provision is imposed.
Questions and disputes
The operator is based in Scotland, UK. Contact the operator with questions or disputes about the service. These terms do not require a particular court or remove mandatory protections that apply where you live.
Changes and contact
Changes will be identified by the updated date above. Material changes to the service or terms will be explained before they take effect where required by law.
