Please note: On December 2, 2023, the New York Times Spelling Bee’s in-house hints page listed a word count and point total that could not be achieved given the words accepted in the Web version of the morning’s puzzle. (The totals published here were accurate.) Later in the day, an inadvertently omitted debut word was added back into the puzzle. As a result, the totals listed here became, for a period of time, incorrect. The mismatch has been noted and corrected. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion.
