Casting a spell

It is a competition that is becoming bigger by the year, so much so that the final rounds were televised live on a major network (ABC) this year. It has been the subject of an Oscar-nominated movie and, more recently, a fantastic movie.

Here's an article about this year's winner.

Oh, those good old days...when words like albumen, fracas, knack, therapy, initials, and (my favourite) chlorophyll were enough to win you the spelling bee.
