Is it okay to use a School Competition List from a prior year?
| We recommend that you use only the 2012 School Pronouncer Guide for your school bee, as it draws words from the 2012 official study list. |
Can I use an older competition list for my school spelling bee?
We recommend that you use only the School Competition List for the current school year for your school bee, as it draws words from the current year's School Spelling Bee Study List. For example, for the 2025-2026 school year we recommend that you use only the 2026 School Competition List for your school spelling bee.

Please contact your local spelling bee sponsor to obtain the 2016 District Pronouncer Guide.
