Can you spell that? Georgia bee champion has a quiz for you.

DeKalb County student Sarv Dharavane is competing in the Scripp’s National Spelling Bee this week for the third year in a row.

Sarv, a sixth grader at Peachtree Middle School, came in third place in the national contest in 2025. Shortly after last year’s contest, Sarv told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution he was already looking ahead to the 2026 competition.

“I’m going to try as hard as possible to win next year,” he said.

Now it’s time to see if his hard work has paid off. Sarv studied hundreds — if not thousands — of words to prepare, and selected a few that he thinks are the mark of an expert speller.

Scroll down to take the quiz and see if you could hold your own in a state or national spelling bee.
