We have a new ultimate spelling champion.
Ananya Vinay of Fresno, California, won the 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee after a tense final round that saw her defeat Rohan Rajeev of Oklahoma, according to BBC.
The two finalists went through a "tense" final round, where they spelled words such as cheiropompholyx, durchkomponiert and tchefuncte all in a row, BBC reported.
But Rohan misspelled marram, which led to Ananya spelling marocain to win the match.
"It was just fun to see how far it would go, Ananya said, according to BBC.
But Ananyas victory isnt the only highlight from the Spelling Bee. Heres a look at a few others.
Shourav Dasaris mic drop
In round 12, young Shourav Dasari pulled the ultimate confidence move, according to Mashable. He was tasked with spelling the word mogollon, which wasnt a problem for him.
He stepped up to the mic, spelled the word and walked away before it was certified correct.
Boy prays for his older sibling
In a touching moment, contestant Shruthika Padhys younger brother prayed for her to succeed in the spelling bee.
Youngest girl to qualify earns a win
Six-year-old Emma Fuller was the youngest ever to qualify for the spelling bee. And she spelled the word nyctinasty correctly.
Buzzer-beater finish
Maggie Sheridan from Mansfield, Ohio, did her best to spell the word whirlicote. It took until the final second for her to get it buzzer-beater style.
The Meryl Streep moment
Some of the sample sentences were a little wacky, like this one that includes Meryl Streeps name.
