Spell Bee Word: Bagel


What does bagel mean?

Word: Bagel

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Bagel means a round bread roll with a hole in the middle, chewy inside.

How do you spell bagel?

Syllables: ba - gel

Tricky part: The ending is el, not the le of table or of beagle, the dog, so the e comes before the l.

Watch out for: bagle, bagal

Memory tip: Think of the hole in a bagel as the e, sitting inside before the l: b-a-g-e-l.

Bagel in a sentence

Example 1: Uncle bought a sesame bagel at the airport cafe.

Example 2: A bagel with cream cheese makes a filling breakfast.

Example 3: The bagel was still warm from the oven.
