Simple Spelling Bee Helper
Read full descriptionHide full description
Simple Spelling Bee Helper gives you a hands-on workspace for cracking daily word puzzles. Enter your seven letters — center letter first — and get draggable hexagonal tiles you can arrange, shuffle, and rearrange until the words reveal themselves. HOW IT WORKS Type the center letter and the six outer letters from your puzzle. Tiles appear in a clean workspace ready for you to move around. Drag tiles into different combinations, shuffle unfixed tiles with one tap, or select a group and move them together. When you spot a word, just start rearranging for the next one. FEATURES - Hexagonal letter tiles that match the look of your favorite word puzzle - Drag-and-drop workspace — move tiles freely to visualize words - One-tap shuffle to rearrange tiles and spark new ideas - Box-select multiple tiles and move them as a group - Double-tap to remove duplicate tiles you no longer need - Resizable workspace — drag the bottom edge to fit your screen - Pin tiles in place so they stay put when you shuffle - Add extra copies of any letter by tapping its input box - Adjustable shuffle zone — set left and right boundaries so only certain tiles shuffle - Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro FREE & PREMIUM Every core feature is available free for 14 days. After the trial, basic tile creation, dragging, shuffling, multi-select, and workspace resizing remain free forever. A low-cost monthly subscription unlocks premium tools: tile pinning, extra tile creation, and shuffle zone controls. Simple Spelling Bee Helper is a companion tool — it does not connect to or provide answers for any puzzle. It simply gives you a better surface for thinking through letter combinations on your own.
