WASHINGTON — Five of the state’s best young spellers have earned slots in the next round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, an annual competition that began Tuesday morning with more than 500 spelling whizzes from every state. Hailing from Bridgeport, Bethel, West Haven, Guilford and Rocky Hill, the five Connecticut contestants who moved on spelled their words correctly in an oral spelling round, advancing to Wednesday’s second day of competition. The spellers walked on stage Tuesday having already taken a written exam. For the preliminaries, spellers must complete two oral spelling rounds. Their results, combined with the written test scores, will determine whether they advance to the finals on Thursday.
