Speller 30, Max Greenspan, was eliminated by the judges earlier this morning. But the judges reviewed his spelling, officials announced, and determined that should not have been the case. He'll be reinstated into competition and will spell in the next round.
So far, 16 spellers have misspelled and were eliminated.
For this part of the competition, Dr. Sietsema is pronouncing. He's the Bee's associate pronouncer.
