Episode 6863

< Previous | Next >

Episode 6863 was broadcast on 10 July 2018, as part of Series 79.

Lewis Carson played Joe Roscow, with Lewis Carson winning 88 – 75. The Dictionary Corner guest was Adam Henson, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Dictionary Corner mentioned vizir ☓ and vizirs ☓ in Round 2, but these words were not valid in the ODO, which has only the spellings VIZIER and VIZIERS. (Alternatively, Dictionary Corner may have intended the correct spellings, but these were not present here as there was no E in the selection.)
