The 65th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C. at the Capital Hilton on May 27–28, 1992,[1] sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company.

The winner was 13 year old Amanda Goad of Richmond, Virginia, spelling "lyceum" for the win.[2][3] 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.[4]

There were 227 spellers this year (the same as the prior year), 117 girls and 110 boys. 134 survived into the second day of competition.[5] The first place prize was $5,000.[6]

Goad later won $31,200 on the Jeopardy! Teen Tournament in 1996, and graduated from Harvard Law School in 2005.[7]
