Episode 6727

< Previous | Next >

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: Michelle Riley's 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. This did not affect the game's scoreline.
