Episode 6369
From Countdown
Episode 6369 was broadcast on 27 May 2016, as part of Series 74.
Robin McKay played Aden Brooks, with Robin McKay winning 111 – 44. The Dictionary Corner guest was Michael Buerk, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 10, Brooks was not asked to spell his word, nor did Rachel Riley display it on the board; therefore, it is possible that he intended the word GREATS rather than GRATES.
