Suzy wins School Spelling Bee

Suzy (in 4th grade) won the Spelling Bee in her Elementary School, beating out all the other 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. Her words were:

1) design; 2) measles; 3) campaign; 4) column; 5) ancient; 6) tortoise; and the championship word 7) precious.

Gabby (in 5th grade) was in the final 10. Her words were 1) sincere 2) loyalty 3) scribble, and the word that she got knocked out on was 4) rigid. She spelled ridged. Her principal has a weird accent, and she probably would have got it if she had asked the definition, but she was overconfident. Suzy also got a weird pronunciation of the word "column," but she asked for the definition and the word in a sentence.
