ContraBee is a complement to each day’s official New York Times Spelling Bee. It uses the same hive as each day’s Spelling Bee, but with a twist: Instead of requiring the center letter, Contra Bee excludes it. You’ll be surprised at how many words you can find if you turn your mind upside down.

ContraBee's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
