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, and 10 points from the numbers game in the first three rounds.
NOTE: Both contestants' Round 11 offering of DOUGLAS (the plural of DOUGLA) was cut from the broadcast because DOUGLA is marked as a derogatory ethnic term in Oxford Dictionaries Premium.
This was the last episode to be sponsored by Recliner Factory.
