12-year-old Mihir S. Konkapaka of Sabre Springs is moving on up to the third round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
The third round is scheduled to begin Tuesday at 1:25 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Mihir will be the 10th speller to compete.
Mihir was eliminated in the third round when he misspelled antiphonal, an adjective meaning sung, recited, or played alternately by two groups, spelling it antifinal. Mihir said he prepared for the 2023 national bee by"using online resources, books and tips from previous spelling bee finalists and winners. I used the Word Club app to study and also coded a program myself in Python to help me quiz with words."
