Do the audience members who are contestants have to just spell the words they are given in the musical or are they told how to spell them? I went to the show tonight in San Francisco (VERY good) and one audience member got a very hard word right. Thanks!

No, they're not told. Sometimes they just pick someone who can actually spell.

I'm sure the "very hard word" was the made-up one that someone always gets right.
