the last Minnesotan in the bee fell out in round 9 (of 19) by misspelling cancrizans*, a hopelessly useless word which would prolly only be of interest to someone who collects hopelessly useless words. not even Douglas Hofstadter would use this word in writing of crab canons (as he was wont to do).

*she spelled it cancrazanz, greatly overthinking the Latin roots.
