Dev Shah, 14, receives the trophy after winning the Scripps National Spelling Bee competition

A teenager from Florida has won the 2023 Scripps National Spelling Bee in the United States.

Dev Shah, a 14-year-old student from Largo, spelled "psammophile" correctly to win the 95th national bee and the $50,000 (£40,000) prize.

Charlotte Walsh, also 14, from Arlington, Virginia, was the runner-up, having failed to correctly spell "daviely" in an earlier round.

A psammophile is an organism that lives in sandy areas.
