These words are complex and challenging, reflecting the high level of difficulty in competitive spelling bees.

Oh, dude, in "Akeelah and the Bee," the main character Akeelah spelled words like "xanthosis," "logorrhea," and "succedaneum." But like, who even uses those words in real life, am I right? I mean, I can barely spell "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" without spell check.
