Press Writer  
WASHINGTON - A 13-year-old New Jersey girl making her fifth straight  
appearance at the Scripps National Spelling Bee rattled off "ursprache" to  claim the 
title of America's best speller Thursday on prime-time television.

Note: Entry for May 31st speaks to 'rare words' and their  use.

 

Some of the words the kids were faced with were just unbelievable.
Very obscure and difficult, I thought.


I should mention that the girl who ws runner-up went out
on 'weltschmerz'....that's gotta be a world of pain.
