Episode 5381 was broadcast on 23 November 2011, as part of Series 65.
Alex Morton played Julie Healey, with Alex Morton winning 89 – 65. The Dictionary Corner guest was Tim Vine, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Notably, in Round 2, selecting the I after the R would cause the nine-letter word TENSORIAL to be spelled out across the letters board. This is likely the closest instance to having a nine-letter word spelled out in the random letter selection.
