Sameer Mishra looks to the judges upon spelling his championship word "guerdon."



Sidharth Chand misspelled "prosopopoeia," leaving out the I, to pave the way for Sameer to spell the championship word.

Returning favorite Tia Thomas finished third, going out on "opificer." She spelled it "epificer."



Sameer first turned to his family...



...and then the trophy.
