Blossom Hints & Answers Today, November 14, 2026

Merriam-Webster’s Blossom for Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, centers on A, with D, E, P, R, S and Y around it. Beebom, Word.Tips and Connections Solver print the same letters and the same three pangrams. Hints come first, and the pangram words wait in a marked section at the bottom.

Today’s petals: A in the center

• Center: A (it has to appear in every word)
• Petals: D, E, P, R, S, Y

Of the seven letters, A and E are the vowel letters; the other five are consonants. Today’s flower has a rule page on our Blossom hub if the center-letter requirement is new to you. Yesterday’s flower is on the Nov. 13 Blossom page.

Pangram hints, light to heavy

1. Count: three pangrams, listed identically by three sites.
2. Lengths: two have 7 letters and one has 9.
3. Short ones: a 7-letter pangram uses every letter once, so no letter repeats.
4. Long one: the 9-letter pangram needs two extra letters on top of the seven.

Two pangrams from one set of letters

A 7-letter pangram has no spare letters: it is the seven tiles, in some order. That is why today’s two short pangrams are anagrams of each other. They hold the same multiset of letters (A, D, E, P, R, S, Y, once each) and differ only in order.

That changes the search. Once one 7-letter pangram is on the board, the second needs no new idea at all, because every letter you need is already in the word you just played and only the order is left to work out. Keep the first letters, shuffle the rest, and test the results against the dictionary. Counting the letters in the long pangram shows what it adds:

Pangram	Letters	A	D	E	P	R	S	Y
First short one	7	1	1	1	1	1	1	1
Second short one	7	1	1	1	1	1	1	1
Long one	9	1	1	2	1	2	1	1

Only E and R double. The other five letters stay single. Subtract one E and one R from it and a 7-letter pangram remains. For the bonus, that makes the long word a build-up from a short one rather than a separate hunt.

Pangrams

Beebom, Word.Tips and Connections Solver list these three. Each uses A, D, E, P, R, S and Y at least once.

• Resprayed (9 letters)
• Sprayed (7 letters)
• Spready (7 letters)

Sprayed and Spready share their first three letters, S, P and R, and rearrange the last four. Resprayed is Sprayed with an R and an E added.
