Spelling Bee Challenge

Do you have what it takes to pass this Spelling Bee with flying colours? You’ll be quizzed on animals with crazy names, obscure words, wonderful instruments and much more, so you’ll need to know your stuff to soar to a high score. Let’s start the fun 40-questions that will take your word power to the next level. Good luck!

Congratulations to Pauline Bell, who was the National Spelling Bee's first female winner and in only the event's second year to boot! The 13-year-old Pauline correctly spelt the word "cerise" in the final round to claim the title, being held at the National Museum in Washington, D.C. In case you're wondering, "cerise" means a light clear red colour.
