In honor of national spelling bee hopeful Ellie Pierce, pick the word spelled correctly below. Correct answer in the comments.

Zyzzyva. The last word in most dictionaries, a zyzzyva is an American weevil that often is destructive to plants.

The correct spelling of the others is:

Cincinnati
Accommodate
Nonpareil (so much for i before e, right?)
Fuchsia

I was just telling someone the other day how I always misspell Cincinnati. Maybe it's a subconscious Western PA thing?

GOOD LUCK to Ellie!!
