Are You A Spelling Phenom?


Try your hand at the actual words from the Preliminaries of the 2011 Scripps National Spelling Bee to see if you could have qualified for the Semifinals. Spellers completed the Round One Test as part of the Preliminaries. Scores on the Round One Test were combined with points potentially earned in Rounds Two and Three to determine the Semifinalists. To qualify, spellers needed a score of 29. How do you compare?
