spelling bee champ

Letters contest winner

A spelling bee champ is the winner of a spelling bee—a competition where contestants are eliminated for misspelling words.

The term is informal and often affectionate, evoking images of studious children clutching trophies: Our little spelling bee champ made it to nationals.

Sometimes used sarcastically toward someone who misspells something obvious.
