NYT Spelling Bee: Hints & Answers for January 15, 2026

The NYT Spelling Bee gives you seven letters in a honeycomb grid — every valid word must include the center letter. Below are spoiler-free hints followed by the full list of answers.

Spoiler-Free Hints

  • One of the longest words today uses all seven letters — it’s a word related to sequence or measurement.
  • Several shorter words today describe the action of making something smaller or reduced.
  • Think of words built around height or weight — those themes recur in several solutions.
  • Four-letter words today include basic English vocabulary you probably know.

Tip: Work from longer words down — find the pangram first, then derive smaller words from it.
