Soo, once again, the spellers onstage wowed us all. Their unrelenting determination and composure helped 16 of the finalists to continue on to the primetime finals. This is a record number of finalist as the cutoff is generally for 12 or less spellers.

The words in the Morning Finals primarily consisted of a bunch of Root, Geological, and Mythological words. Oh, and the oodles of mollusk words.
Can’t wait for the finals to start!
