  # NYT Spelling Bee — Human Difficulty Dataset
44
 
45
  Human solve-frequency data for 58 New York Times Spelling Bee puzzles (June–July 2025), sampled from 10,000 users per puzzle. Serves as ground truth for evaluating LLM orthographic constraint satisfaction.
46
 
47
- ## Dataset Description
48
 
49
- Each row is one daily puzzle. The Spelling Bee task requires generating valid English words using only 7 given letters, with one designated center letter that must appear in every word.
50
-
51
- The `answer_user_counts` field records how many of 10,000 sampled users found each answer word, providing a continuous human difficulty signal per word.
