[How do you spell “winner?” F-A-I-Z-A-N Z-A-K-I!]

Faizan Zaki from Texas-Plano,near Dallas,won the Scripps Spelling Bee.

His winning words? “Eclaircissement.”(which he knew! It’s amazing to me how frequently the winners know their winning words!)

The definition?Clairification,or a clearing up of something obscure.

Also.I love this:In an interview afterwards he said he’s giving half of his prize money to charity!
