Introducing Word Blossom

Play Word Blossom!

If you've ever played the New York Times' Spelling Bee, Word Blossom will be very familiar to you! You have seven letters, out of which you must form as many words as possible. Words can be no shorter than four letters, and each word must contain the central letter. There is always at least one word that uses all the letters.

Because it can get pretty difficult, I've added a Hints box that tells you how many words of each length there are, and I've also added a "Stuck?" button. When you click it, it gets the definition of a random word you haven't found yet. These are pulled automatically from The Free Dictionary, so the definitions have not been curated. This means they can sometimes be a bit obscure, and sometimes they include the word itself in the definition!

I'm not sure yet how often puzzles will be updated. Daily seems like it'd be too often, but if it's something that people really enjoy, I can make that happen.

Let me know what you think!
