OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — Eight kids are sharing the title at the Scripps National Spelling Bee after bee organizers ran out of words that could challenge them. The ending was unprecedented in the 94-year history of the bee and raises questions about how the competition can adjust to kids who appear nonplussed by any word in the dictionary. The co-champions closed out the bee by spelling 47 consecutive words correctly, and they said fatigue was a much bigger problem than the words.
