The Scripps National Spelling Bee, the annual competition for erudite children and teenagers, holds its final round on Thursday, at 8 p.m. Eastern, broadcast live on Ion.
Last year's winner, Dev Shah, clinched the victory by correctly spelling 'psammophile.' His success led to prizes exceeding $50,000 and a commemorative medal.
Spellers will face challenging words and multiple-choice vocabulary rounds sourced from Merriam-Webster, hoping to be crowned champion, winning cash prizes and reference works.
Participants in this year's final round of the Spelling Bee range from 8 to 15 years old, aiming to outshine their peers with their linguistic prowess.
