Caroline Kovacs, speller 301, is out on the word "stolid." Because he never wants it to leave our heads, Dr. Bailly gave the New Jersey fifth grader the following sentence:
Father may seem like a stolid man, but he still does a little dance every time he hears the "Baby Shark" song.
Luckily, we quickly moved on to another pop culture reference for Luke Zacharek, speller 303. Hopefully, the Michigan eighth grader likes Pokémon:
Quentin was shocked that the one piece of art this year that made him introspect more than any other was "Detective Pikachu."
He spelled "introspect" correctly, to look within (as one’s own mind).
