DID YOU KNOW? for  September 13 - 26, 2022:  

Did You Know…14-year old Harini Logan is the 2022 Scripps National Spelling Bee champion after a first-ever spell-off at the 94-year old event. The Texas 8th grader received a trophy and check for $50,000 after going head-to-head with Vikram Raju, of Colorado. The spell-off, a format that tested the contestants on how many words they could correctly spell within 90 seconds was necessary because the 2 finalists remained tied after 18 rounds—the maximum number of rounds the Bee allows. In the spell-off Harini spelled 21 of 26 words correctly, while Vikram got 15 of 19 words right. The 2 finalists had already eliminated 232 others during the June championships.

I honestly think it's so surreal, it is my fourth time at the Bee '', Harini said on stage holding the trophy.  “This is such a dream, this is my fourth bee and I’m just so overwhelmed.”  On the first-ever-spell-off, Harini said, “At first I was a little uneasy and I decided to take it in stride… I just had to take a deep breath and tell myself to go out there and do my best and whatever happens, happens.”

The 2022 Championship Round included words like:
