A "psammophile" is a noun defined as an organism that prefers or thrives in sandy areas.
Dev Shah is the champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Dev, a 14-year-old from Largo, Florida, had his spelling career interrupted by the pandemic, then didn't make it out of his regional bee last year.
