Isaac Brogan says he often writes the words he’s given at spelling bees on one hand with his finger.
The Grade 5 student at Maranatha Christian Academy in Windsor, Ont., used the technique earlier this spring to win the WFCU Credit Union Scripps Regional Spelling Bee.
The winning word was “conundrum.”
Brogan, 11, outlasted 24 other elementary students in March.
That earned him a spot in the Scripps National Spelling Bee that takes place next week in National Harbor, Md., — just outside of Washington, D.C.
