Here’s the latest on spelling bees:
- Faizan Zaki won the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee at age 13, spelling "psammophile" to clinch the title. This made him the latest champion following a runner-up finish the previous year. [citation]
- The 2025 event highlighted a strong Indian-American presence, with reports noting Zaki’s win after a comeback from an earlier misstep. [citation]
- Coverage from CBS Miami notes Bruhat Soma’s 2024 win as a Tampa, Florida contestant, illustrating the ongoing prominence of young spellers in the national competition. [citation]
If you’d like, I can pull more details on the 2025 finals (word list highlights, prize details, format changes) or provide a quick timeline of recent winners.
