	I'm excited that there won't be any US-centric complaints on here. well done for accepting zed

	H is a real killer.

	I'm American and I typed "zed" just to see how US-centric the game was. I forgot to check double-vee, though.

	I'd never thought about how the letters were spelled before. Awesome idea!

	Y and H tripped me up, the rest were pretty easy.

	Awesome quiz idea! I remember several years ago, I was watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee, and one of the kids was given "aitch." It went EXACTLY like you'd picture it: "Could I have the definition?" "Aitch is defined as the letter H." "Um. Could you use it in a sentence?" "'Aitch is the eighth letter of the alphabet.'" "H." "Yes. Aitch." "The letter. The spelling of the letter." "Yes." The poor girl got it wrong, although she was close to the correct spelling. At least she didn't simply say "H."

	Awesome idea! Q is a good 'un though!

	Wow, H and Q are toughies.

	I agree with ianbob, H and Q were the two who tripped my up as well!

	Dagnabbit, Scottique, I was going to make the exact same comment! Definitely one of my favorite spelling bee moments. However, you left out the best part- that she actually (jokingly, but still) asked if there were alternate pronunciations! It was awesome, and the crowd ate it up.
