Blossom Word Game Answers and Hints for Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026: Letters and Pangrams

Merriam-Webster’s Blossom for Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026, puts T in the center, with A, G, I, N, S and W on the petals. Beebom and Connections Solver agree on those letters. Hints come first, and every answer sits in a marked spoiler section at the end.

Today’s letters

• Center: T (every word must include it)
• Petals: A, G, I, N, S, W

A and I are the only vowel letters here, so G, N, S and W end up carrying most words. The rules and scoring are on our Blossom page, and today’s center T is the letter no word can skip.

Pangram hints and the extra T

• How many: two pangrams are confirmed by the sources we checked.
• Length: one has 8 letters and the other has 7.
• Relationship: the shorter one becomes the longer one when you add a second T.
• Ending: both finish with the same three letters.
• Longer one: a verb form for hitting at a fly or a wasp.
• Shorter one: a verb form for using something up carelessly.

If you find the 7-letter word first, look for the one spot where a second T fits. If you start with the 8-letter word, delete one T.

Word.Tips and Connections Solver score the pangrams at 22 and 19 points. We did not see an official scoring table, so we only report their tallies; the longer word is the one with the higher score.

Long words that lean on -ing, double S and double T

We did not see a full official word list, so the counts cover words that Beebom, Connections Solver and Word.Tips all list. Beebom and Word.Tips each count 3 words of 13 letters, 2 of 12, 3 of 11, 7 of 10 and 15 of 9. The three sources agree on 20 of those words, and they are the ones counted below.

Length	Words confirmed by all three
13 letters	3
12 letters	2
11 letters	3
10 letters	7
9 letters	5

Twelve of the 20 end in -ing, including six of the seven 10-letter words. Five begin with “Ass”, which is the only way the board produces a double S in these lists. Double T is rarer: only one of the 20 has it. If a word will not come, try an -ing ending on a short word that already has the T.

Keep score on our printable weekly calendar or the November 2026 printable calendar.

Today’s Blossom pangrams and long words (spoilers)

Stop here if you still want to solve it yourself.

• Swatting (8 letters)
• Wasting (7 letters)

Swatting is Wasting with a second T added. Both use A, G, I, N, S, T and W. The game may not accept every word that solver sites list.

Long words by length and ending

Three sources agree on these words of 9 letters or more. Both pangrams are shorter than 9 letters, so they are not in the table.

Length	Words
13 letters	Assassinating, Instantiating, Tangantangans
12 letters	Antistatists, Tangantangan
11 letters	Ananastasia, Antistatist, Instigating
10 letters	Assistants, Attainting, Initiating, Saginating, Sanitating, Sanitising, Stagnating
9 letters	Agitating, Antiaging, Assignats, Assistant, Assisting

That is 3, 2, 3, 7 and 5 words, 20 in all. Twelve end in -ing. Five start with “Ass”: Assassinating, Assistants, Assignats, Assistant and Assisting. Attainting is the only one with a double T.
