Words are easier tonight

Wow, these words aren't as hard as earlier.

Tautological, Huguenot, shamateurism, digerati, and empyrean are much more well-known in spelling bee materials than words given earlier in the day. In fact, all of them are prominently featured in CWL, the resource the Bee provides to spellers.

Maybe the bee gods realize these kids have experienced too much turmoil for a day and are giving them a break.

It'll be interesting to see if the words kick up.
