178 years ago today – on September 24, 1847 – Merriam-Webster's New and Revised Edition was released! It was just four years after Noah Webster's death in 1843, when all rights to the name "Webster" were purchased by George and Charles Merriam. #dictionary

In 1992, Ned Andrews finished 15th at the Bee. He came back in 1993 and improved to 14th. Then in 1994? He spelled his way to the trophy. 🏆 Ned later served on the Bee’s competition staff for six years. This past May, he returned to D.C. to celebrate our 100th anniversary. ❤️

It's the 20th anniversary of that time speller Dominic Ranz Ebarle Errazo from South Carolina dropped his best Napoleon Dynamite impression just before correctly spelling his word at the 2005 Bee. 🧨 After all, girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. 😁 Classic.

🐝 Fun Fact: When Bee Pronouncer Dr. Jacques Bailly was born on January 28, 1966, the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart was "We Can Work It Out" by The Beatles. Seems fitting for someone who would go on to spend so much time studying word origins and spelling. 😁

On this day 98 years ago—June 23, 1927—17 students gathered at the National Museum in Washington, D.C., for the 3rd ever National Spelling Bee! 🐝 1st place went to 13-year-old Dean Lucas of Ohio, who nailed the word "abrogate" to clinch it (Dean also competed at the 1926 Bee).
