National Spelling Bee 2010 winner, Anamika Veeramani, says the word that made her win, “stromuhr,” was just luckily one of the words she had previously encountered.
Ms. Veeramani won the 83rd annual Scripps National Spelling Bee Friday night at an event broadcast live on ABC television from the Grand Hyatt hotel in Washington, D.C.. She beat out 272 other spellers from around the country and other countries such as Canada and Jamaica, to remain standing Friday night and claim the Championship trophy. She admitted that during the competition in Washington, she had made a couple of “informed guesses” on words she wasn’t positive she knew. One of these was “epiphysis” and the other was “mirin,” a kind of Japanese wine made from rice.
The Champion gave credit to her family and a teacher at school for their support. She said her mother helped her with her words, and her younger brother, who is good at geography, helped her with geographic words.
