For the first several decades of publication, the Scripps annual study booklet was named "Words of the Champions", which offered 3,000 words in a list separated into beginning, intermediate & expert groupings. In the mid-1990s the annual study list changed to "Paideia" (from the Greek word meaning education and culture), which ultimately contained more than 4,100 words, then again in 2006 to the shorter list, entitled "Spell It!", the 2009 edition having 1155 words (911 basic words and 244 challenge words).
