The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling ___ (musical)

The 25th Annual… What? A Crossword Clue You Can’t Miss!

This week’s crossword clue has me stumped. It’s a real head-scratcher, and I’m betting it’s tripping up a few of you too. The clue itself is simple enough, just a few short words, but the answer seems to be hiding in a corner of my brain I just can’t quite reach.

It’s a musical, that much is clear. But what musical is it? The clue mentions “The 25th Annual” and “Putnam County,” and then… a blank. What could possibly fit in that blank?

I’m racking my brains, searching for that elusive connection. I’ve tried every synonym for “bee” I could think of, but no luck. Maybe it’s a more obscure term? Or perhaps it’s a play on words?

Whatever the answer is, I know it’s going to be a satisfying “aha!” moment once I crack it. So, I’m putting it out there: Do you know the answer to this crossword clue? Let’s solve this mystery together!
