Episode 6727
Episode 6727 was broadcast on 11 December 2017, as part of Series 77.
Chris Weldon played Michelle Riley, with Chris Weldon winning 93 – 59. The Dictionary Corner guest was Paul Zenon, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Although allowed by Dictionary Corner, Michelle Riley's Round 2 offering of RULER was invalid, as there was only one R in the selection. In addition, her Round 7 offering of TRICES was stated to be allowable, though the ODO states that TRICE only occurs in the phrase "in a trice", thus making it rather illogical to pluralise. Neither error affected the game's scoreline, however, as Weldon declared longer words in both cases.
