SpellPundit resources helped Zaila Avant-garde immensely achieve her dream to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Here is Zaila with the trophy and about SpellPundit in her own words:

“A Huge S/o to the Dasari’s, the creators of @spellpundit 🙌. Back in 2019, their program was absolutely instrumental in Z’s rapid transformation from a complete non-speller into an **almost semi-finalist (In just two months).”
