[Adult Spelling Bee] AutoCorrect Can't Save You Now
Josh writes: "It occurs at Freddy’s on the last Wednesday of the month (next week, Jan. 26) at 8 pm. The
entrance fee is a dollar ($1) and it’s winner take all. We’ve done the bee
twice now, and had pots as big as 21 dollars, so you can win some SERIOUS
money. The winning word at the first bee was "eleemosynary" but that’s much harder than the words usually are."
