Spelling Bee #29 has 29 required words worth 147 points, with 2 pangrams (2 perfect, using each letter once) and 22 rarer bonus words that score but don't count toward the maximum. 7 of the words are four letters long (1 point each), and the longest is FLYOVER at 7 letters. Words starting with F are the biggest group (10). Genius needs 103 points, which is 70% of the maximum; Queen Bee means every required word.
