How to Find More Words on This Board
Start from the centre, always
Every answer contains E. Say each petal against it — EB, N — rather than scanning the flower at random. Every board in the archive works the same way.
Petals repeat, so try doubles
Letters can be reused as often as you like, which players routinely forget. That is where words like SERENENESSES come from on a board of only seven letters.
Hunt the pangram early
There are 7 here: BROWNNESS, BROWNNESSES, BROWNNOSE, BROWNNOSER, BROWNNOSERS, BROWNNOSES, NEWBORNS. Finding it first tends to reveal several shorter words on the way.
How to Play Blossom
Centre letter, four letters minimum, reuse freely.
Use the centre letter in every word
It is the gold tile. A word without it does not count, however good it looks.
Four letters minimum
Three-letter words are rejected, so the short answers you would play in other word games are not available here.
Reuse letters freely
Petals are not consumed. That is what makes long words possible from seven letters — see the archive for boards that ran past 1,000 answers.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify every dated board we hold, with its centre letter, petals, full word list and pangrams
Each board is taken from the published solution for its date; the centre letter is derived from the answers themselves — it is the letter every word shares — so a change to how the source draws its flower cannot give us the wrong one. The routine is in our methodology and the standards in our editorial policy.
