Expert word wheel
An expert word wheel counts only the longest words, a short and demanding list to find. Like every wheel here it still has an eight-letter word to spot.
Harder grades raise the shortest word that counts. Every wheel prints its full word list.

How to solve a word wheel
Eight letters sit on the wheel, one in the centre. Make as many words as you can, each using the centre letter and only the wheel letters, each letter once. One word uses all eight.
The method
- 1Start with the centre letter. Every word must include it, so write it down and try the outer letters around it one at a time.
- 2Work up by length. Find the short words first, then stretch them: add a letter, swap an ending, and keep the ones that read.
- 3Hunt for the long one. One word uses all eight letters. Look for a common prefix or suffix, then fit the rest around the centre.
- 4Check against the list. The answer page prints every word you could have found, so you can see how close you came.
- The one rule
- Every word uses the centre letter and only the wheel letters, each letter at most once.
- What the answer page shows
- The complete word list is printed at the back, with the eight-letter word in bold.
- How the grades differ
- Harder grades raise the shortest word that counts.
- Good for
