“This word sounds like a Harry Potter character.” #spellingbee

Colette is a 6th grader. Let that sink in. In 6th grade I still ate my pencils. #spellingbee

[Alice Ozma @AliceOzma]

I am suddenly invested in this triple crown I had never heard of before. #spellingbee

[Alice Ozma @AliceOzma]

“Don’t over-complicate it,” they say of a word I’ve never heard before #spellingbee

[Alice Ozma @AliceOzma]

“There is literally no way he knows this” I thought just before he spelled it flawlessly #spellingbee
