  Winning words of past spelling bees, newest first: the national championship back to 1925 and national and regional bees around the world, each with a link to the word's page. Filter by part of a competition's name (for example "Scripps" or "Ghana") or by year. With no filter it returns the most recent national championship winners.

• practice_words

  Get words to quiz a speller on, picked at random from one of Spelling Bee Hive's free practice sets at the chosen difficulty: levels 1-3 are School, 4-6 Advanced and 7-9 Champion, where 1 is the easiest and 9 is national-final difficulty. Each word comes with what a bee's pronouncer can give - pronunciation, part of speech, definition, language of origin and an example sentence - and a recording. Run it like a bee: say the word, give those clues when asked, and only reveal the spelling after the speller has answered.
