The word "psammophile" gave victory in the U.S. national spelling championship Spelling Bee.

Dev Shah, a 14-year-old student from Largo, Florida, was the winner. The winner, who took the $ 50,000 prize (just over 46,000 euros), was decided after 14 rounds and almost two hours of nerves. The final is broadcast in prime time (as many as 7.5 million viewers in 2022) by the ION network.
