All words on the Conference spelling bee word lists are entries in Merriam-Webster Unabridged Online Edition, the official dictionary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, available at http://unabridged.merriam-webster.com. The Conference will use words that are used from this officially published list, and they may be given in any order. Additionally, the Conference will use a set of unpublished "Challenge Words." The judges do not have to exhaust the published list before moving onto the unpublished challenge list. The judges will determine when to move from the published list to the unpublished challenge list. Parents are not permitted to bring in the list of words to the Conference-level spelling bee.
