\"\"<\/em><\/strong><\/strong>Six out of 8 co-champions, 13 out of 16 finalists, 38 out of 50 semi-finalists and 72 out of the top 100 are SpellPundit students.\r\n\r\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn\u00a0the last few days, there were many newspaper articles and blogs on SpellPundit,\u00a0wondering if SpellPundit’s innovative study tools were\u00a0the reason for\u00a0multiple co-champs. Most people think it is! One veteran speller analyzing\u00a0whether SpellPundit “broke the Bee” summarized it as,\u00a0“SpellPundit is an incredibly useful resource… Spellers are never going to stop using it, because it’s the\u00a0cutting edge, so far above any competition.”\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow\u00a0many of the\u00a0words asked in the 2019 bee\u00a0are in SpellPundit Module? In\u00a02019, 839 words were asked (excluding Round 2 as those words are given to\u00a0spellers in\u00a0advance) and all but 9 words are in SpellPundit modules. That\u00a0means 99% of the words are in SpellPundit. There is no other website\/book\u00a0that\u00a0even comes close to containing\u00a099% of the 2019 Scripps National\u00a0Spelling\u00a0Bee words.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\"\"<\/em><\/strong><\/strong>2017, 2018 and 2019 Scripps National Bee Words and their distribution in SpellPundit modules. On average, about 55% words come from Level 1, 20% words come from Level 2,\u00a0 20% words come from Level 3, and the remaining 5% words come from other modules.\u00a0This is real data from the last 3 years, please use this information to prioritize your study effort.\r\n\r\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSo, what are the\u00a09 words that are missing? We have removed somewhat simpler words to decrease the overall number of words. Because of that process, six words (example: biopic) were\u00a0not in the list.\u00a0Also, three difficult words (Maillard (reaction), Richter (scale) & Moazagotl (cloud)) were not in SpellPundit. Scripps has never asked compound words such as Maillard (reaction), but now they have started. We have those\u00a0words and we will add them to SpellPundit for the 2020 bee.\r\n\r\nSpellPundit modules are constantly being updated, based on critical analysis, to increase your chances of winning. You just need to focus on learning words, we will do the rest for you!\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
