Schnecke in 5?

Marshall Winchester was given the word schnecke in round 10 in 2005.

Zachary Zagorski from New York just nailed the word in round five. That's a good indication of how much harder the words are this year than in years past. In fact, many of the other words previously given today were used much later in previous bees.

On another note: It's amazing that when the bee dings and ends a speller's dream, most are still polite enough to say "thank you" and appear genuinely grateful. It's impressive.
