The Principal’s Word of the Day is
GUILE (gile) n cunning; duplicity; artfulness
Jose used guile, not intelligence, to win the spelling bee; he cheated.
To be guileless is to be innocent or naive. Guileless and artless are synonyms.
The word beguile also means to deceive, but in a charming and not always bad way.
