After a Speller registers, they will have access to and can download a sample word list. This Word List is simply a guide with sample words of varying difficulty. Parents and spellers are encouraged to devise their own strategy to prepare using tools available here and on other sites listed below. Spellers should refer to the Merriam Webster Unabridged Dictionary Online. The words used at the South Asian Spelling Bee will be from the provided sample word list and Merriam Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary. The South Asian Spelling Bee word list can be accessed after registering for the contest via the “Study Source” link in your confirmation email.
