Florida teen Dev Shah beat out his final opponent by correctly spelling the word, 'psammophile,' to become the 95th Scripps National Spelling Bee champion.
Prior to Shah's final turn at the mic, Walsh misspelled the word"daviely," making space for Shah to swoop in and take the victory.
Shah had to spell a total of 15 words in Thursday's competition, becoming the 95th champion of the Scripps Spelling Bee, and picking up a $50,000 grand prize. He was one of 11 finalists Thursday. Two competitors were eliminated in the first round after misspelling their words, while a third was eliminated in the second round, in which spellers are prompted with a multiple choice question about the definition of the word.
Six more students was eliminated in the third, fourth and fifth rounds, including Utah's Surya Kapu — the only repeating finalist in this year's bee. It was then down to Shah versus Walsh. Shah nailed his word,"bathypitotmeter," while Walsh misspelled her final word of the night,"daviely."
