Blossom
January 2, 2026
209 words, centre letter I, petals D E H R T W.
All 209 words
The Blossom puzzle for January 2, 2026 has I at the centre, with the petals D, E, H, R, T, W. Every one of the 209 accepted words below contains that centre letter — that is the rule the game enforces, and it is the reason most rejected words get rejected.
There are 4 pangrams today — WHERRITED, WITHDREW, WITHERED, WRITHED — using all seven letters at least once. Pangrams score highest and are usually the last thing anyone finds.
Remember that letters can repeat as often as you like: only seven distinct letters are shown, but a word may use any of them more than once. Words must be at least four letters long. If you want yesterday or the day before, they are linked at the foot of this page, and the full archive holds every day on record.

How Blossom Works
The rules that decide what counts on any Blossom day.
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
Starting with what today's puzzle in particular rewards.
Today the centre is I
Every one of the 209 words below contains I. A word without it is rejected however good it looks.
There is a pangram today
Using all seven letters: WHERRITED, WITHDREW, WITHERED, WRITHED. Pangrams score highest and are usually found last.
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.
