The Spelling Bee Game
For this game, which is akin to Wordle, there are a few rules:

Make words with the letters that are visible.

Words must contain at least four letters.
The primary letter must be present in every word.
Every letter has a variety of purposes.
Hyphenated terms, proper nouns, vulgar language, and extremely obscure words are not included in the word list.
A point is assigned to each word.

Four-letter words are worth one point.
In words with five letters or more, each letter is worth one point.
All seven letters of a word, or a pangram, are worth an additional 7 points. There is at least one pangram in each issue.
At midnight, further issues emerge.
