Episode 6785 was broadcast on 16 March 2018, as part of Series 78.
Maria Frizelle played John Dickinson, with Maria Frizelle winning 65 – 64. The Dictionary Corner guest was Suzi Perry, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NB: In Round 7, Susie Dent incorrectly stated that John's word for that round, MODIST, was the US spelling, and that the British spelling must have an E at the end. It is in fact the other way round, meaning Susie was wrong in this instance, and both spellings are valid on Lexplorer. In addition, MODISTE and MODIST are also two separate words. One possibility is that Dent did not check MODIST (automatically assuming it was wrong), and went straight to MODISTE on her laptop. Regardless, John lost out on six points, while Maria gained five she was not entitled to. Controversially, this cost him the game. The true score was in fact 70-60 to John.
