Blossom Answers
Six petals around one centre letter; every word must use the centre.
Blossom Answers Explained
Blossom gives you seven letters arranged as a flower: one in the centre and six petals around it. Every word you make must use the centre letter, and may reuse any letter as often as you like. This archive holds 276 days of puzzles containing 97,645 accepted words, and each day is drawn as the actual flower rather than listed as seven letters in a row.
The centre letter is the whole game. It is why "the word I made was rejected" is almost always a word that missed the centre, and it is why we validate every single word in this archive against that rule before publishing the day. If a word does not contain that day's centre letter, it does not appear on the page.
Each day also records its pangrams — the words that use all seven letters — which are worth the most and are usually the last thing anyone finds. The archive holds 3,271 pangrams across every day on file. Blossom is a live daily game, so today's puzzle is collected each morning and filed the day it releases.

How Blossom Works
The three moves that solve most puzzles in this game.
Start from the centre
Every valid word contains the centre letter. Build outward from it rather than scanning the petals first.
Reuse letters freely
Letters may repeat as often as you like. Words like LEVEL or ERASER are legal from a single set.
Hunt the pangram
A word using all seven letters scores highest. Look for common suffixes first — ING, ERS, IEST.
Blossom Tips & Strategy
Six things that make the difference between stuck and solved.
The centre letter is mandatory
Every accepted word must contain it. If a word was rejected in-game and you cannot see why, check the centre letter first — that is the reason nine times out of ten.
Letters repeat as often as you like
Only seven distinct letters are shown, but each can be used repeatedly. Double letters and repeated vowels open up far more words than the flower suggests.
Chase the suffixes
If the set contains G, N and I, test -ING. If it has E, R and S, test -ERS and -IEST. Suffix-first is the fastest route to a pangram.
Four letters is the floor
Words shorter than four letters are not accepted, so ignore three-letter finds however tempting they look.
Work the prefixes too
RE-, UN-, IN- and OVER- combine with the centre letter surprisingly often and are easy to miss when you are scanning for whole words.
Use the archive to learn the pattern
Reading a few past days shows which unusual words this game accepts. That knowledge carries directly into tomorrow's puzzle.

How this Blossom archive is put together
Every Blossom puzzle on this site is imported from a structured source record rather than transcribed from a screenshot or copied from another answers page. On import each record is validated before it is allowed through: a puzzle missing its core data is left out of the archive instead of being published incomplete. That is why the count reads 276 rather than a rounder marketing number.
The archive is maintained by the Solved Archive editorial team, who play these games and use these pages themselves. Because Blossom runs a live daily puzzle, a collection job runs every morning and files the new day the same day it releases — the newest day currently on record is August 24, 2026. If you spot anything wrong, tell us via the contact page with the puzzle number and we can trace it straight back to its source record. Our full process is written up on the method page.
