2017 Nat'l Kids Spelling Bee & Nat'l Adult Spelling Bee von Justin Rudd
Congratulations to the 12th annual National Adult Spelling Bee champion, Kiri Wagstaff of Monrovia, Calif. She plans to give half of her $1,000 winnings to the Monrovia Public Library. She correctly spelled "accrete" in round 16 to win the bee. In rounds leading up to the final round, she also correctly spelled "cathect", "glissade" and "dermatophyte." Accrete means to "grow by accumulation or coalescence."
Second place went to Anne Wright of Long Beach, Calif. Anne was the Bee's champion in 2010. In today's bee, she misspelled "spilth" in round 15, but had correctly spelled "morello", "pleonasm" and "gurry" in some of the earlier rounds.
Third place went to last year's champion, William Thill of West Hollywood, Calif. Today, he got out on "palinode" in round 13. Other words he got right included "hauberk", "flagon" and "foulard."

Kate Karp is the pronouncer for both bees. Judges included Willa Heart, Sharon Sueki, and Elizabeth Schirmer. The prize money comes from CAT's Long Beach Turkey Trot 5K/10K.
The winner of the 16th annual National Kids Spelling Bee was Navneeth Murali, a fifth-grader from Torrance, Calif. He correctly spelled "foray" and "pheasant" to win the $1,000 prize. His two previous words included "lout" and "dulcimer."
Second place went to Ryan Yan, 5th grade, of San Gabriel, Calif. He misspelled "yawp" in round 12. But some earlier words he correctly spelled included "prehensile" and "wherewithal."
Third prize went to Kalena Kien, 5th grade, of Anaheim. She got out in round 11 after missing "holistic." The two previous words she got right were "slavishly" and "lethargic."

Do you have suggestions on how to prepare for the bee, aside from reviewing your site?
