Hearty congratulations to Aishwarya Kallakuri, the champion of the SpellPundit National Senior Spelling Bee, and to the brilliant runner-up, Oliver Halkett!

This remarkable achievement is a testament to your unwavering dedication, exceptional linguistic skill, and deep passion for words. You have ascended to the top from a truly outstanding field of orthographic talent spanning the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ghana, the UAE, and India.

The competition itself was a veritable festival of language, featuring some of the most challenging words drawn from the rich tapestry of English, Latin, Greek, French, Italian, Sanskrit, and even more arcane and esoteric tongues.

To all the grand finalists — we are immensely proud of your command of language, your composure under pressure, and your passion for spelling. You mastered a dazzling array of words and competed with grit, grace, and great spirit.

Here are the ranks of the top 10 spellers, along with the prizes they earned for their incredible performances:
