A 14-year-old student from San Antonio, Texas, has won the Scripps National Spelling Bee on her fourth attempt. Harini Logan's victory came late Thursday in the first-ever spell-off tiebreaker of the competition. Logan spelled 21 words correctly during the 90-second spell-off. That was six more than her opponent, 12-year-old Vikram Raju of Aurora, Colorado. The judges said the winning word was “moorhen,” which means a female, red grouse bird.
