To find out how many contestants were in the first round, we can divide the total number of words spelled correctly by the number of words each contestant spelled correctly.
Given:
- Total words spelled correctly = 1,036
- Words spelled correctly by each contestant = 37
Now, we perform the calculation:
\[
\text{Number of contestants} = \frac{\text{Total words spelled correctly}}{\text{Words spelled correctly by each contestant}} = \frac{1,036}{37}
\]
Now, perform the division:
\[
1,036 \div 37 = 28
\]
Therefore, the number of contestants in the first round is \( \boxed{28} \).
