If you spell the word correctly, the card you draw will be the card that includes the word. If you don’t, the card you look at to scry 1 will be that card.

If a redirection effect causes a Spelling Bee you control to deal combat damage to you, you’ll look at the top card of your own library and will choose a word to spell. No one else will be able to verify you did it correctly, but we’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

The player looking at the top card of your library can choose any word from the card’s name, type line, or text box. Notably, they can’t choose a word that’s only in the artwork or artist credit. It doesn’t have to be a real word from a dictionary; Astroquarium is a perfectly cromulent word, for example.
