Next Bee: Monday, September 13th 8:30 pm
As the back to school season approaches it's time to hit the books and bone up on your spelling so you can come on down to the September edition of the Seattle Spelling Bee! Compete against other spellers for fabulous prizes. Last month we gave away a brand new 32 gig Apple iPad...compatible Tully's gift card. Who knows what valuable prize will be up for grabs next month? August results
It was a hard fought battle of words with Josh outlasting Randy Hilfman. The forty written words for August are listed below:
| triceratops | billionaire | gaffe | fireflaught |
| tessera | tabella | pax | troche |
| hydrofining | hydrogenate | hydrolea | hydrogel |
| volplane | sesquiplane | quadruplane | panplane |
| dreamy | oneiric | sweven | somnial |
| yippee | shazam | zowie | fiddledeedee |
| queach | smeech | sleech | pleach |
| sixern | skiff | schooner | schokker |
| illawarraash | banaba | bonsai | chilte |
| sneezy | sternutation | ptarmic | gesundheit |
The accuracy rate of each of the written words can be found on the stats page. The top spellers advanced to the verbal round with the following results:
Round 1
harangue tissuey winnable recrement
phocine catafalque Round 5
tichorrhine
In the first portion of the evening competitors will write down each of the 40 words read by the host. After the results are tabulated the top twelve spellers will move on to the verbal portion of the contest where it is do or die. One miss and you're out. The best speller of the night will receive $25 off of their tab while the runner up receives $15 off. Entry fee is only five dollars for an evening full of words and spectators can watch for free! As always, there will be mini-games with prizes available for spellers and spectators alike.
