Blossom Hints & Answers Today, November 9, 2026

Merriam-Webster’s Blossom for Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, centers on I, with B, G, L, M, N and O around it. Beebom and Connections Solver agree on the letters. Clues come first, and the answers wait in a marked section at the bottom.

Today’s letters

• Center: I (every word must include it)
• Petals: B, G, L, M, N, O

Only I and O are vowels. Words built here need I plus a run of consonants, with O as the one optional vowel. The scoring and rules are on our Blossom page, and today’s lone center vowel is the part that sets this board apart.

Pangram hints for a two-vowel board

• Length: 8 letters, so one letter appears twice.
• Repeat: the doubled letter is a vowel.
• Start: B.
• Ending: the last three letters are I, N and G in that order.
• Meaning: flowering, in full color.

Two sources print the pangram, Beebom and Word.Tips, and Connections Solver’s masked hint, which begins with B and L and hides six more letters, fits it. Other solver sites list a few rarer words that use all seven letters. The game may not accept them, so we name none.

What the letters allow

The seven letters have a few traits worth checking before you type.

• An -ing ending is possible. I, N and G are all on the board, so a short word plus -ing can work, as long as the stem uses only today’s letters.
• The ending covers the center. A word ending in -ing already holds the required I, so its stem can be built from O and the consonants alone.
• Double letters carry the long words. The three long words we confirmed repeat letters: one uses I three times, one uses B twice, and one uses N three times.
• The doubled O shows up twice. The pangram has two O’s, and so does one of the three long words.

• Blooming (8 letters)

It uses B, G, I, L, M, N and O, with the O twice.

Long words by length

Beebom, Connections Solver and Word.Tips all list these three words of 9 letters or more. Solver lists run longer, but we print only what three sources agree on, and the game may not accept every word they show.

Length	Words
10 letters	Immingling
9 letters	Bilimbing, Nonillion

Immingling has three I’s, two M’s, two N’s and two G’s. Bilimbing repeats I three times and B twice. Nonillion has three N’s, two O’s, two I’s and two L’s, and it is the only one of the three without an -ing ending.
