Episode 7932
Episode 7932 was broadcast on 16 January 2023, and was the third quarter-final of Championship of Champions XVI.
Ahmed Mohamed played Luke Johnson-Davies, with Ahmed Mohamed winning 132 – 100. The Dictionary Corner guest was Rick Edwards, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
The first "half" of this game marked the first time both contestants scored the theoretical maximum number of points in any "half", with both getting back-to-back nine-letter words.
NOTE: Both contestants' Round 11 offering of DOUGLAS was cut from the broadcast because it is marked as a derogatory ethnic term in the Oxford Dictionary Online.
