Episode 5299 was broadcast on 4 July 2011, as part of Series 65.
Gareth Lee played Declan Hayes, with Gareth Lee winning 85 – 47. The Dictionary Corner guest was Robin Cousins, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In round 3, Lee's declaration of DISTILL should have been disallowed, as it is only in the dictionary with one L.
Notably, the selection in Round 1 was identical (disregarding its order) to that in the immediately preceding letters selection, in Round 13 of the previous game.
