Scripps National Spelling Bee contestant Vanya Shivashankar, 11, of Olathe, Kansas talks about her experience taking the Preliminaries Test during the first round of the contest in Oxon Hill, Md., Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Shivashankar's older sister Kavya Shivashankar won the Bee in 2009. The 86th edition of the Scripps National Spelling Bee took on new meaning Tuesday _ or rather, lots of meanings _ with organizers having decreed that the precocious youngsters need to prove they know the definitions of some of those tough words. The 281 competitors took a 45-minute computer test that probed their knowledge of spelling and vocabulary, with the results to be combined with Wednesday's on-stage round to determine which spellers advance to the semifinals Thursday.
