- How do you spell hechsher?
- The Philadelphia Daily News reported that Saryn Hooks' answer of hechsher was initially rejected by the judges
of the 2006 National Spelling Bee held in Washington DC, U.S.A. After checking hechscher in a dictionary the judges decided that their answer was wrong and that Hooks' answer was correct. They then invited her to return to the competition.
