Episode 7892

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7892 was broadcast on 14 November 2022, as part of Series 86.

Joe Dobinson played Neil McCall, with Joe Dobinson winning 99 – 82. The Dictionary Corner guest was Bobby Seagull, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This was the first episode in this series to be hosted by Trevor McDonald during his week-long spell as presenter and the return of the clock being started in the gallery.

The solution for 552 in Round 6 was given by Seagull.

The conundrum game itself was technically invalid because WHORESHIP is also a valid solution, though one suspects that word would not be allowed on air.
