Episode 7927 was broadcast on 9 January 2023, and was the sixth preliminary of Championship of Champions XVI.
Martin May played Luke Johnson-Davies, with Luke Johnson-Davies winning 117 – 90. The Dictionary Corner guest was Heather Small, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
The second Teatime Teaser was cut from broadcast, possibly in light of recent events that happened since the recording of the programme – only the end of the Countdown title sequence was shown before and after the second break.
Dent's Origins of Words slot returned in this episode, after her voice ailment prevented its appearance the previous week.
