Spelling Hive

Yes, another spelling bee game. I made one because the free versions are buried in ads, the polished one asks for a subscription, and none of them play in Spanish or Portuguese. So I built the one I actually wanted.

Why this one

What sets it apart.

Free, forever

No ads. No paywall. No subscription.

No ads, no tracking, no account, no upsell buried three screens deep. The free spelling games I tried were stuffed with ads, and the good one costs money. This one just doesn't.

Actually multilingual

English, Spanish, Portuguese. More on the way.

EnglishSpanishPortugueseFrench (coming soon)

Each language has its own word list checked by hand. It's not an English dictionary run through a translator, so the puzzles feel native in every language.

Progress worth chasing

10 bee-themed ranks. Badges. Streaks.

Ten bee-themed ranks, a shelf of badges, and streaks that track how you're doing over time. Something to come back for that isn't a once-a-day countdown timer.

Hints on your terms

Earn nectar by playing. Spend it on hints.

Every word you find earns nectar. Spend it on hints and clues whenever you're stuck, at your own pace. No paywall, no waiting, no watching an ad to keep playing.

Unlimited puzzles

13,000+ puzzles. No daily limit.

There's no daily limit. Play one puzzle or fifty, and they won't repeat until you've worked through all thirteen thousand of them.

Built to feel good

3 themes. Works offline. Definitions on tap.

Three themes, snappy input, definitions on tap, and it all works offline. I spent most of the time here, on the small stuff that makes it pleasant to open every day.

Beta testing

Come break it before launch.

The game plays end to end already. What it needs now is real people poking at it. Everything happens on Discord, where the builds, the feedback, and the word-list arguments all live.

What I'm after

Play a few puzzles and tell me what feels off. Bugs, missing words, screens that confuse you. That's the whole ask.
