Pictures of the Canadian spellers in Round 5. All 7 semifinalists were eliminated.

WASHINGTON -- All seven Canadian spellers who remained at the Scripps National Spelling Bee were eliminated from the competition this morning.

When Grace Tsai, of Vancouver, failed to spell the word "cinerea," inserting a "y" where the "i" should have been, it marked the end of the line for the Canadians.

Veronica Penny of Hamilton was eliminated on the word etagere, while Saskatoon's Anqi Dong was stumped by the word hooley.

He got “bockwurst” right during the preliminaries, but after a written test filled with words like “eidetic”, “cacoethes”, and “nonpareil”, Thunder Bay's Logan Turner didn't make it to the finals in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.

"'Appaloosa' stumped me," the 11-year-old Agnew H. Johnston Public School student said Thursday from Washington. "I spelled it A-P-P-A-L-U-S-A. Another word I thought I had right was cygnet. I spelled it S-I-G-N-E-T-T-E."
