Today's Read

Tight board with one compound jackpot

The O-centered hive is compact at 32 verified answers, so this is not a board where random four-letter cleanup will carry you. Start by pushing the WO- and MO- families, then test every double-O shape you can build, because the biggest gains come from compound-style extensions and repeated-vowel answers rather than broad word count.

Pattern Prompts

Work The Board Without Reveals

  • WO- compounds first

    The cleanest scoring lane starts with WOMAN and then stretches into the board's only pangram, so build that stem before hunting scraps.

  • MO- family is the deepest cluster

    MO- supplies the broadest branch count on the board, from simple cleanup to six-letter builders, so it is the fastest way to climb toward Genius.

  • Double-O is not optional

    Repeated O is a real solving rule today, not a curiosity. Several accepted answers become visible only when you stop treating the hive like a no-repeat tile set.

  • M/W compounds beat four-letter sweeping

    Most of the serious points live in compound-feeling or doubled-consonant builds such as the WOMAN and -HOOD lanes, so save the one-point words for the last pass.

  • DO- branch hides the mid-tier points

    After the big stems, the DO- branch gives you a tidy second pass with one short cleanup answer and several higher-value extensions.

Common Prefixes

  • MO-

    This is the most productive opening on the board and it spans short cleanup plus multiple five-letter builders.

  • WO-

    This opening contains the pangram path and two other worthwhile payoffs, so it deserves an early dedicated scan.

  • DO-

    This branch starts small but quickly expands into the board's middle scoring tier.

  • HO-

    HO- is where the repeated-O answers become obvious, especially once you have already spotted the -OOD family.

Common Suffixes

  • -ood

    This ending carries both routine cleanup and two of the board's biggest point swings.

  • -man

    The board rewards building from WOMAN outward rather than treating each entry as unrelated.

  • -hoo

    A repeated-vowel ending powers two accepted exclamatory shapes that are easy to doubt if you play too conservatively.

  • -oon

    This short ending offers quick late cleanup once you have exhausted the longer stems.

Progressive Help

Pangram Hints

No-spoiler nudge

The pangram is a common nine-letter compound built from an everyday person-word plus a familiar suffix about state or identity.

Structure hint

It starts with WO-, uses repeated O twice, and ends with a five-letter suffix that also appears in another accepted long answer.

Reveal words: womanhood

Spoiler Control

Notable Words

Why these matter

  • womanhood

    The only pangram, the biggest point jump on the board, and the clearest reason to test WO- compounds early.

  • madwoman

    A long extension that proves WOMAN is not just a five-letter stop but a live builder.

  • adwoman

    This professional noun is easy to overlook, but it turns the same WOMAN base into another strong scoring hit.

  • manhood

    A second -HOOD long word that makes the shared ending worth spotting before cleanup mode begins.

  • hoodoo

    One of the best reminders that repeated O is a board feature, not a trap.

  • whammo

    A punchy six-letter payoff that rewards solvers who trust doubled consonants and spoken-word energy.

  • mammon

    This uncommon six-letter answer is strategically useful because it pushes both the MA- lane and double-M thinking.

  • woohoo

    A memorable repeat-vowel answer that becomes much easier once you stop treating O as a one-use letter.

Hard Finds

Tricky Accepted Words

  • adwoman

    This is easy to skip if you stop at WOMAN instead of testing occupational extensions.

  • mammon

    The doubled M and repeated O make it feel less tidy than the board's cleaner stems, but it is a real six-point builder.

  • howdah

    This uncommon shape is worth remembering because the H-O opening is more flexible than it first looks.

  • whammo

    Another repeated-letter answer that rewards anyone willing to trust emphatic spoken-word shapes.

  • woohoo

    This is exactly the kind of repeated-vowel celebration word many solvers talk themselves out of.

  • mown

    A one-point cleanup word, but easy to miss because it is shorter and less pattern-obvious than the main MO- branch.

Disputed Candidates

Plausible Rejections

  • anoa

    It fits the hive cleanly and feels dictionary-plausible, but it was not in any verified source answer list for June 30.

  • dado

    A familiar-looking construction term, yet it stayed outside the verified answer set even after solver refresh.

  • donna

    The repeated letters make it look viable on this board, but the source set did not accept it today.

  • doodah

    It matches the DO- and double-vowel patterns nicely, which is exactly why it is a good caution-word for this puzzle.

  • hodman

    The letters cooperate and the shape echoes MANHOOD, but the verified sources still left it out.
