Introduction to Bingo in NYT Spelling Bee

Bingo in the NYT Spelling Bee doesn’t refer to an answer like a pangram or perfect pangram. A Spelling Bee puzzle can be bingo if at least one word in the solution set starts with each of the letters in the hive of the puzzle.

For example, suppose the letters in the puzzle are (B) G I L M N O. In that case, it is a bingo because at least one answer starts with B (i.e. BLOB), at least one answer starts with G (i.e. GLOB), at least one answer starts with I (i.e. IMBIBING), at least one answer starts with L (i.e. LOBO), at least one answer starts with M (i.e. MOBBING), at least one answer starts with N (i.e. NIMBI), at least one answer starts with O (i.e. OBLIGING).

The word “Bingo” is coined by Times Wordplay commenter qatburger.
