Episode 7279 was broadcast on 9 March 2020, as part of Series 82.
Iain Campbell played Steve Agace, with Steve Agace winning 78 – 75. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jeremy Thompson, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Agace was not asked to spell his word in Round 1 and may have intended the word GRATE rather than GREAT.
