Spelling Bee Competition Words and Statistics

What competition words actually look like when they are asked on stage: how they break down by length, by difficulty level, by part of speech and by the language they ultimately come from.

It also covers competition history - which words have been used in past spelling bee rounds, how often, and which ones keep coming back year after year. Every bar opens onto the words behind it, so a statistic can be turned straight into something to practise.
