Spelling Bee is accessible on the NYT Games mobile app or  the newspaper’s website.

Players are tasked with spelling as many words as possible using the provided grid of letters. There are a few rules to follow:

  • Words must contain at least 4 letters.
  • Words must include the center letter.
  • The word list does not include words that are obscure, hyphenated, or proper nouns.
  • No cussing either, sorry.
  • Letters can be used more than once.

Four-letter words are worth one point, and you get an extra point for each additional letter in the word. Each puzzle always includes a pangram, or a word that contains every letter on the board.

All answers for today’s Spelling Bee

Today’s Spelling Bee uses the following letters, starting with the must-use center letter: N, L, U, O, A, C, and K.

Below, we will list all the possible words that can be spelled using today’s letters, starting with four-letter words.

Minecraft: Java Edition is abuzz thanks Mojang's latest update. That's right. Honey bees have fluttered into a number of biomes, setting up shop to pollinate flowers and create honey. If you've ever wanted to a be a real life beekeeper but have been irrationally dissuaded by Nicolas Cage's performance in The Wicker Man, now's your chance (yes, the bees).

3 underrated PS Plus games to play this weekend (July 26-28)
Angela in Trials of Mana.

If you're looking for something to play this weekend, you should try out one of these three underrated games from the PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra game catalog. The first game is an RPG remake from Square Enix that can prepare you for one of August's biggest game launches. Then there's an enjoyable racing game from EA that you should check out before it leaves PS Plus next month. Finally, I recommend a remake collection of two cult classic platformers from Bandai Namco Entertainment that are worth your time if you've never played them before.
Trials of Mana

Trials of Mana is the 2020 remake of Seiken Densetsu 3, an SNES sequel to Secrets of Mana from the 1990s that never came out in North America. Next month, this long-running RPG series will continue with the release of Visions of Mana, so you should check out this RPG with action elements beforehand so you can understand the foundation upon which Visions of Mana is building. The fact that you can start the game with one of six different protagonists gives it replay value as well. Make sure you play the PS4 version of Trials of Mana through PS Plus Extra before it leaves the service on August 20. It's also available on PC, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android.

Persona 6: rumors, release date speculation, and more
Joker performing an all-out attack in Persona 5.

Originally a spinoff series from the Shin Megami Tensei series, Persona has arguably become the more popular and known name among gamers. This series set itself apart by combining the monster-catching elements of the best Pokémon games with a deep and satisfying turn-based combat system. But the real kicker is the engrossing story and lovable characters you spend so many hours with. Now that we're several years out from Persona 5, and even from the Royal edition, everyone is looking toward the next entry in one of the best JRPG series out there. Let's level up our Social Links and share all the information we have about Persona 6.
Release date speculation

Atlus and Sega haven't given any indication on when Persona 6 could be released. Some rumors and leaks suggest it could be within the next two years, but there's no way to be sure. The only thing we have regarding Persona 6 is an interview for Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight where series producer Kazuhisa Wada stated: "We are working on mid-to-long term plans, including new numbered entries, so that fans can constantly enjoy the Persona series starting next year."
Platforms
The Persona series used to be exclusive to PlayStation, but new entries have all come to most every platform, and we expect that to continue with Persona 6. There's a chance it might be a timed exclusive for PlayStation, but it seems safe to say Atlus will bring it to every platform eventually.
