Episode 7183
From Countdown
Episode 7183 was broadcast on 15 October 2019, as part of Series 81.
Pierse Walsh played Phil O'Reilly, with Pierse Walsh winning 75 – 67. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jeremy Thompson, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: O'Reilly's Round 12 offering of greeds ☓ is actually invalid due to GREED being listed as a mass noun in the ODO, though Dictionary Corner mistakenly allowed it. This would not have affected the outcome of the round.
