Oh man did I chase the wrong rabbit on this one for awhile. I'm still not sure the solution I found is the best.... I added a new input for all of the letters in the alphabet, but theoretically this would be dynamic, you would just have to change the spelling_bee input data for each new day's puzzle. I had fun!

Fantastic, interesting and creative challenge!!!  Thank you!!

Valid dictionary words not in today's official answers
