==Evolution of the highest 15-round score==
 
 
 
The results of all the 15-round televised games are known.
 
 
 
*[[Episode 3086]] : [[Ian McMenzie]] : 64
 
*[[Episode 3087]] : [[Ian McMenzie]] : 85
 
*[[Episode 3088]] : [[Ian McMenzie]] : 86
 
*[[Episode 3089]] : [[Ian McMenzie]] : 106
 
*[[Episode 3094]] : [[Steve Sandalls]] : 107
 
*[[Episode 3096]] : [[Steve Sandalls]] : 109
 
*[[Episode 3100]] : [[Simon Cartwright]] : 121
 
*[[Episode 3169]] : [[Chris Wills]] : 129
 
*[[Episode 3346]] : [[Julian Fell]] : 138
 
*[[Episode 3387]] : [[Julian Fell]] : 146
 
*[[Episode 5654]] : [[Conor Travers]] : 146
 
 
 
Travers' score equalled that of Fell's.
 
 
 
==Notable exceptions==
 
 
 
[[Chris Cummins]] score 123 with two [[nine letter word]]s against [[Richard Redman]] in his [[Episode 3533|7th appearance]]. During the game Cummins had {{word|NOVATE}} disallowed. However it's listed in the dictionary under {{word|NOVATION}} and therefore should have been allowed, making his final score 129. This is not included in this list.
