For speakers of languages that are highly phonetic (i.e. there is a very predictable relationship between what is written and how it is said) such as Spanish, Russian, German, Korean, and Hungarian, the idea of having spelling competitions (sometimes known as "spelling bees" - don't ask me why!) may seem odd, but any familiarity with the huge disconnect between how you write words in English and how you say them will give insight into how useful such contests might be as part of the process getting a proper command of the language.
The three forms of the verb "spell" are spell spelt/spelled spelt/spelled , both forms being used in the UK, and "spelled' being the standard in the US.
As a noun "spelt' refers to a grain like wheat, the consumption of which as a wheat substitute, e.g. as flour to make bread is spreading rapidly as it has many health benefits.
