LAST NIGHT, AMERICA’S annual Spelling Bee competition took place in Washington DC – where the cream of the spelling crop do battle on national telly.

It turned out that two kids couldn’t be separated, and both were declared the champions for 2016.

But when this guy on Twitter called out the Spelling Bee for having a “comfort couch” it did not go well

Madness.

The two winners eventually both spelled “feldenkrais” and “gesellschaft” correctly to share the win.

But the 2016 Spelling Bee will always be remembered for a much easier word gone wrong – loose.
