Note
American English keeps this past form regular throughout, while British English also has spelt. One spelling serves as both past tense and participle: she spelled it, she has spelled it. The form follows every use of spell, not only the alphabet: a sudden silence spelled trouble, the manager spelled out the plan, and a co-driver spelled him at the wheel after six hours.
