Episode 937 was broadcast on 13 October 1989, and was an extended 45-minute edition for the Series 18 grand final.
Mandi Hale played Rajaretnam Yogasagarar, with Rajaretnam Yogasagarar winning 92 – 73. The Dictionary Corner guests were Frazer Hines and Eve Pollard, and the lexicographer was Catherine Clarke.
This was the last show of the 1980s as well as the last to feature the problematic short-lived red-letter tiles.
