That girl is amazing. She's going to end up being a Jeopardy champ someday.

Spell it? Bish I can't even pronounce most of those words.

Best part is auto generated captions from YouTube. They couldn’t even do it

Spell it? I can't even pronounce it! 😂

Amazing; the 2nd place kid has nothing to feel bad about! I wonder if they know how many adults; like me couldn't make it through the first round! Nice job kids!!!

This is a future educator/ principal lol. I'm just here so I can see the beginning of her greatness.

[SkyeRangerNick]

Impressed. I am curious about careers top spellers pursue.
Language is foundation for Human civilization; that and collaboration.

Wow, they have a skill that the phone in my hand has rendered obsolete. Yay?

[Chirasvidays]

Indians Indians Indians... India is Great again by Harini :)

[alumpyhorse]

saccharose —-that’s the only one I got ;) In awe!!

[shiftss]

This level of talent can only come from India

[Hunter-fvgl]

Biden's inflation is killing me. Why aren't you guys talking about this!??!!

[Jamal-jvyc]

Spelling as fecking entertainment. 🤦‍♂️

[mviv]

frankly becoming ridiculous now with mostly Indian winners. Loses attraction for other ethnicities. A black girl winning last year was a excellent change. But more to be done to make it more inclusive.
