The Scripps National Spelling Bee clarifies: “Webster’s Third New International Dictionary and its addenda section, copyright 2002, Merriam-Webster, (Webster’s Third) is the final authority for the spelling of words. All words given in [the] competition are entries in Webster’s Third. In the final round of competition, Sameer Mishra was asked to spell the noun ‘guerdon’ meaning ‘reward, recompense’.”
