Heartiest congratulations to SpellPundit student Faizan Zaki from Dallas on being crowned the champion of the 100th Scripps National Spelling Bee 2025!
Faizan’s remarkable journey to this historic victory is a testament to years of dedication, discipline, and perseverance. Much like last year’s champion, Bruhat Soma, Faizan began his spelling bee journey with SpellPundit at a young age. Since 2020, he has actively participated in SpellPundit’s rigorous competitions, steadily honing his skills and building his confidence with each passing year.
His progress has been inspiring: Faizan clinched the Junior Spelling Bee title in 2021, followed by an impressive third-place finish in the senior category in 2024. His continuous growth and unwavering commitment culminated in this crowning achievement at the centennial edition of the nation’s most prestigious spelling competition.
The SpellPundit team is immensely proud of Faizan and thrilled to see his hard work and resilience pay off. His journey exemplifies the spirit of excellence that SpellPundit strives to cultivate in all its students.
