After the presentation of Cansfield's prize, Richard Whiteley concluded the episode, and the series, with a wish for viewers to have "a very merry nine-letter word". This was followed by the reappearance of the conundrum scramble board, bearing the letters SAMTRICHS, and finally, Cathy Hytner pulled the lever to reveal that this unscrambled to CHRISTMAS (though CHRISTMAS would not in fact be valid on Countdown, as it is capitalised).
