Harini Logan of Texas wins 94th Scripps National Spelling Bee in first-ever spell-off
Sometimes Harsha immediately knew the word. Sometimes he paused.“For bigger words, take a step back,” his father said. “Wait. Read it in your mind. Do not rush.” He reminded Harsha of Braydon Syx, an Alabama contestant from that morning who had slowly, excruciatingly, repeated question after question as the seconds ticked away. “He did not rush,” Chandrasekhar said. “And he got it right.”
Harsha’s favorite words are those rooted in English. The worst is French, he said. “French freaks me out.” “I’m really sad about it, because they worked really hard,” she said. “You could know every other word in the dictionary, and if they give you the word you don’t know, that’s it and it’s done.”“I don’t want to jinx anything,” Charlotte said, “so I don’t want to say a specific one, because maybe I’ll go out on that one.”
