WASHINGTON - Two days into a national spelling bee competition, an 11-year-old Bridgeport native fell to the word “celtuce.” Janelle Newell, a sixth-grader from the Multicultural Magnet School in Bridgeport, instead spelled the word c-e-l-t-i-s. She was one of three Connecticut contestants eliminated Wednesday from the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which brings more than 500 advanced young spellers to compete for three days in Maryland. Wednesday was more nerve-racking than Tuesday’s preliminary round, Newell said, because she wasn’t given a word off her well-studied list. But she said she’s going to begin preparing for the next bee the minute she returns home.
