The 59th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C. at the Capital Hilton on May 28–29, 1986, sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company.

The winner was 14-year-old Jon Pennington of Shiremanstown, Pennsylvania, correctly spelling "odontalgia".[1][2] Second place went to 13-year-old Kenneth Larson of Tequesta, Florida, who missed "kaolinic". Larson was competing for the third time, having finished 111th in 1985 and 65th in 1984.[1][3]

There were 174 participants this year (100 girls and 74 boys, ages 9–14), and a total of 725 words used.[1][4][5] Nine spellers missed in the first round, 36 in the second, and 14 in the third.[6] 115 spellers made it to day two of the competition, and the final round between the last two spellers began at about 4:40pm.[7][8] Alex Cameron was the pronouncer.[8]

The first-place winner received $1000 (and other non-cash prizes). Second place got $500, and third received $250. Fourth through eighth places received $100, the next ten received $75, and the remaining 156 spellers received $50 each.[8]
