CBSN
The Scripps National Spelling Bee has a new champion: 14-year-old Dev Shah of Largo, Florida.
The teen beat out his final opponent, eighth-grader Charlotte Walsh of Arlington, Virginia, by correctly spelling the word, "psammophile," which is defined by Merriam-Webster as "an organism that prefers or thrives in sandy soils or areas."
"It's surreal," Shah said after being announced the champion. "I don't know if it's settled in. My legs are still shaking!"
