The 65th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C. at the Capital Hilton on May 27-28, 1992, sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company.
The winner was 13 year old Amanda Goad of Richmond, Virginia, spelling "lyceum" for the win.[1] Goad had tied for fourth-place in the prior year's bee. Second place went to Todd Erik Wallace from Blackfoot, Idaho, a 14 year old in his fourth consecutive Bee, and who had finished third the prior year.[2]
Goad later won $31,200 on the Jeopardy! Teen Tournament in 1996, and graduated from Harvard Law School in 2005.[3]
