Put on your thinking caps and grab your favorite drink, it’s time for a special edition of Ohio State trivia.

Last night, Faizan Zaki won the 2025 Scripps Howard Spelling Bee by correctly spelling “éclaircissement.” You know, the word of French origin you use daily that means to clear up something obscure. In honor of the kids who will never need to use their computer's spell checker, it's time to test your ability to spell the names of former Ohio State players. 

There are two simple rules: Please use your brain (not a search engine) and only play once. If you need more éclaircissement, don't cheat. 

Note: After you answer all of the questions, you must click on "Finish Quiz" to see your results.
