It was her fourth time competing in the bee.
But Raju, a seventh grader from Denver, was tripped up in the next round by"caul" — allowing Logan, who hails from San Antonio, Texas, to spell"sereh" correctly. But she was then tripped up by"drimys," meaning the two headed to the next round.
Raju then missed"Otukian," giving Logan a chance with"myricetin." But she again missed. And each missed the next word: Raju,"pyrrolidone"; Logan,"scyllarian." 12-year-old Vikram Raju from Denver, Colorado, reacts after spelling a word correctly during the Scripps National Spelling Bee at the Gaylord National Harbor Resort on June 1, 2022 in Oxon Hill, Maryland. 234 spellers are competing in the first fully in-person Bee since 2019.Judges then decided the two would face off in a spell-off, the first in the history of the bee. Each contestant had 90 seconds to spell as many words as possible.
Raju, though, told host LeVar Burton he would be back next year. A three-time competitor in 2022, he'll be eligible one more time. According to the bee's organizers, the bee started this year with more than 11 million students in school, local and regional bees.
