August 31, 2025 answers
The dated archive identifies 33 answers for this puzzle. The available source material confirms the pangram and score totals but does not provide a complete, verifiable word list here; rather than risk mixing in answers from another date, use the linked dated archive for the full list: NYT Bee’s August 31, 2025 answer archive. A separate dated report also identifies CHROMIUM as the pangram.
- Pangram: CHROMIUM
- Answers: 33, according to the dated answer archive
- Maximum score: 148 points
- Genius threshold: 104 points
The answer count and score figures are reported by the secondary archive, not by an NYT-hosted answer page.
Why the year changes the answer
“August 31” alone is not enough to identify a Spelling Bee solution: the puzzle changes each day and each year. For August 31, 2026, secondary archives give a different letter set—L, A, B, D, O, R, Y—and identify ADORABLY and BROADLY as pangrams. Those sources disagree on the total answer count: one reports 60 words and 276 points, while another reports 58 words. The 2026 count is therefore unresolved, and its figures should not be used as the 2025 puzzle’s totals.
