The preliminaries test was held on Tuesday, and Round Two and Round Three were both held on Wednesday. A semifinals test was then held on Wednesday night. 

The semifinals will be televised starting at 10 a.m. ET on Thursday, with the finals being held at 8 p.m. ET Thursday. 

Last year, co-winners were declared for the first time since 1962 after both Ansun Sujoe and Sriram Hathwar exhausted the list of words from the championship list.
