Revision as of 10:15, 17 April 2010

Episode 4438 was broadcast on 14 September 2007, as part of Series 57.

Sam Butcher played Sian Serafinski, with Sam Butcher winning 102 - 65. The Dictionary Corner guest was Pam Ayres, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Notably, in round 13 the final letter U was drawn from the consonant box, in spite of it being a vowel. Also, the conundrum has two valid solutions: TONIFYING is an anagram of the given answer, NOTIFYING.
