Vauhini Vara was born in Saskatchewan, Canada, to Indian immigrants, and grew up there and in the suburbs of Oklahoma City and Seattle. She discovered a love of words early on and in 1995, 12-year-old Vauhini spelled her way to an incredible 3rd place finish at the Scripps National Spelling Bee. 🐝 Her love of words was just starting to blossom.

Vauhini has built an amazing career as a journalist for publications like The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times Magazine. As an author, her debut novel, The Immortal King Rao, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and her latest nonfiction book is an award-winning bestseller. 📖 Beyond her own writing, she empowers the next generation by mentoring incarcerated writers and aspiring authors to help them share their own stories.

From the Bee stage to a lifetime of impact and inspiration. Thank you for everything, Vauhini!

Looking forward to watching all the incredible spellers take the stage tomorrow. A special shoutout to Sophia Garcia from Our Lady of Las Vegas who is featured here along with some other talented contestants. She and Priya Konduru from Davidson Academy in Reno will make Nevada proud.

For one week, 247 spellers will fill Constitution Hall for the 2026 Scripps National Spelling Bee. The annual tradition puts young students — and their love of words — on display, but many of these spellers have other notable talents.
