The final round of the 95th Scripps National Spelling Bee takes place on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. Here’s what you need to know.
Some of the nation’s brightest young minds are putting their knowledge of the English language to the test at the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. The 95th Scripps National Spelling Bee kicked off on Tuesday in National Harbor, Maryland, with 231 students from around the country and other parts of the world competing in the preliminary rounds. Spellers will face off in the two-day event that culminates in the finals on Thursday. Read on for more on how to cheer on these talented spellers .
Remember the record-breaking, eight-way tie in the 2019 bee? That’s unlikely to happen this time around. If no champion results from the final rounds, the bee will proceed to a spell-off in which the contestant who can spell the most words correctly in 90 seconds will win. Last year’s champion Harini Logan clinched her victory after a spell-off – a first for the National Spelling Bee.
