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.

Gameplay
Creature — Alien Insect
Flying, deathtouch
Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player looks at the top card of your library and chooses a word on that card. You spell that word. If you spell it correctly, draw a card. Otherwise, scry 1.
Just be thankful it wasn't grammar scorpions.

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.
