spelling bee winner

Letters competition champion

A spelling bee winner is someone who has won a spelling bee—a competition where participants spell words aloud until only one remains.

The term often carries connotations of academic achievement, verbal precision, and childhood accomplishment: She was a spelling bee winner in fifth grade.

It sometimes appears as gentle teasing toward someone overly pedantic about spelling.
