About Today's Blossom

Form words from 7 letters in a flower petal puzzle. Visit www.merriam-webster.com/games/blossom-word-game to play today's puzzle.

Today's puzzle is rated 5/10 difficulty — moderate difficulty. Take your time with the clues.

How to Play Blossom

Blossom presents 7 letters arranged in a flower petal layout: one center letter surrounded by six outer petals. Your goal is to form as many valid words as possible using these letters.

Every word you create must include the center letter. Words must be at least 4 letters long, and you can reuse letters as many times as you want within a single word.

Longer words earn more points: 4-letter words score 2 points, 5-letter words score 4, 6-letter words score 6, and 7+ letter words earn 3 additional points per extra letter.

A pangram is a special word that uses all 7 letters at least once, earning a 7-point bonus on top of its length score. Finding pangrams is key to maximizing your score.

Tips & Strategy

Start by looking for pangrams. They are worth the most points. Try combining all 7 letters into common words. Spotting one early gives a big scoring boost.
Focus on the center letter first. Since every word must contain it, think of common prefixes and suffixes that include that letter, then build outward using the petal letters.
Build longer words for exponential scoring. A 9-letter word earns 12 points versus just 2 for a 4-letter word. Prioritize length over quantity when you can.
