Episode 3276

From Countdown

Episode 3276 was broadcast on 25 June 2002, and was the fourth quarter-final of Series 47.

Rupert Stokoe played Wendy Roe, with Rupert Stokoe winning 99 – 80. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Digance, and the lexicographer was Damian Eadie.

The second Teatime Teaser's solution, INCAGED, would be reused in Episode 3602 with a different scramble. On neither occasion was the word in the dictionary in use at the time, in this case the NODE.
