Spelling Bee

Spelling Bee is a two-player competitive game where each player attempts to create the longest possible valid English word using a given set of allowed letters. Players submit their words simultaneously, and the player with the longer valid word wins. The game emphasizes vocabulary skills and strategic letter usage.

Actions are strings representing the player's proposed word, wrapped in square brackets.

Example Actions:

• [donkey]
• "I think a good word would be [apples]"

Players receive initial game instructions with the allowed letters. The game provides no step-based observations to ensure fair play.
