2010 Winner, Roula Abisamra, & 2nd place Fred Roberts

The 40th Annual Atlanta Open Orthographic Meet was Feb. 20th, 2010.

It was a year of homonyms:

Missile, missal

sensor, censor, censer (& censure)

Beetle, betel, beadle, baetyl

...

Round 4 words were truly daunting:

Houyhnhnm, Houvari, Hacek, Baetyl.

...

Roula won on Sudden Death: pelage

How it works:

It is all written. We provide paper. Bring a pen or pencil, or we can loan you one of ours. No one stands up to spell, so relax and enjoy the words.

The Bee is free. We just ask that you support Manuel's for providing space, by buying drinks and appetizers. If you come early, have dinner there before the Bee. Bring friends who like words. They’ll have fun even if they can’t spell.

Next Bee:

Sat. Feb. 19th, 2011 7PM

Manuel's Tavern

602 North Highland Ave. Atlanta 30307

Larry English (a 2 time winner) tied for 3rd.
