It's the 50th anniversary of the 1974 Scripps National Spelling Bee! Julie Ann Junkin from Alabama won the Bee that year. 🐝❤️ Here are the spellers with First Lady Pat Nixon. Just two months later, the Nixons left the White House after the President's resignation. #spellingbee

Not recognizing World Lizard Day certainly would be cold-blooded of us. Celebrate along by taking a moment to learn about the moko-moko. 🦎 Merriam-Webster, the official dictionary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. #wordoftheweek #spellingbee

Incredible photo from 2002 of our first Bee Champion – 1925 winner Frank Neuhauser – alongside 2002 winner Pratyush Buddiga. Frank's winning word was "gladiolus" and 77 years later, Pratyush won on the word "prospicience."

On this National Bow Tie Day, we're reminded that Dr. Seuss once said, "You can't dribble on bow ties." Whether he was referring to food or a basketball, he's right. Merriam-Webster, the official dictionary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. #wordoftheweek #spellingbee

It's the 75th anniversary of the 1949 #spellingbee. 🐝 The winner was Kim Calvin, a 13-year-old boy from Ohio. James Shea of New York placed 2nd and almost fainted at the end of the Bee. Fred Shoup of California came in 3rd – the first time boy spellers took the top three slots.

In the final rounds of the 1936 National #spellingbee, Jean Trowbridge from Iowa was first disqualified for misspelling "numskull" without the "B." The judges then ruled that "numskull" was an acceptable spelling, and Jean went on to win the title. #history
