Blossom Word Game Answers and Hints for Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026: Today's Letters, Words to Try and Pangrams

Today’s Blossom from Merriam-Webster, for Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, puts A in the center with the petals G, I, K, N, P and R. Solver sites list two pangrams that they agree on, one of 8 letters and one of 7. Below are the rules, words to try and hints for the pangrams, which are revealed in a marked spoiler section at the end.

Today’s letters

• Center: A (every word must include it)
• Petals: G, I, K, N, P, R

How Blossom works

You get 12 words to score as many points as you can. Each word must be at least four letters long and include the center letter, and letters can be used more than once. Proper nouns, hyphenated words and offensive words do not count. Longer words score more, a pangram, a word that uses all seven letters, earns 7 extra points, and each use of the highlighted bonus petal earns 5 more, so check which petal is lit before each word.

Words to try

With A in the middle and G, I, K, N, P and R around it, several short words fall out quickly: Gain, Pain, Pair, Rain and Rank. Longer ones such as Grain, Aging, Gaping, Paging and Raking score more. Again and Angina are worth a try because they use A twice.

Pangram hints

• Pangram 1 (8 letters): playing jokes on someone, with N used twice.
• Pangram 2 (7 letters): finding a spot for the car.
