[[Chris Cummins]] scored 123 with two [[letters game|nine-letter words]] against [[Richard Redman]] in his [[Episode 3533|seventh appearance]]. During the game, Cummins had {{word|NOVATE}} disallowed. However, it's listed in the ''[[Oxford Dictionary of English|NODE]]'' under {{word|NOVATION}} and therefore should have been allowed, making his final score 129. This is not included in this list.

Latest revision as of 20:06, 21 January 2024

This list includes all the 15-round scores over 125, not including 125 itself. The first 15-round game was broadcast on 24 September 2001. Since then, 5,192 episodes have been recorded, in which there are known to be 132 15-round scores over 125 (a few 15-round games remain unreleased with an unknown scoreline).

Chris Wills was the first player to score over 125, scoring 129 against April Carlin in January 2002. The first score over 130 was by by Julian Fell in October 2002, scoring 138 against Carl McDermott. He then broke his own record by getting four nine-letter words against Danny Hamilton in December 2002, achieving 146 points.

Kirk Bevins is the first player to make two consecutive scores over 125, achieving these in his third and fourth preliminary games in March 2009. Dan McColm is the first player to make three consecutive scores over 125, achieving these in his fifth and sixth and seventh games in October 2014. Luke Johnson-Davies is the first player to make four consecutive scores over 125, spanning his fifth through eighth games in December 2019/January 2020.

Evolution of the highest 15-round score

Old format

Notable exception

Chris Cummins scored 123 with two nine-letter words against Richard Redman in his seventh appearance. During the game, Cummins had NOVATE disallowed. However, it's listed in the NODE under NOVATION and therefore should have been allowed, making his final score 129. This is not included in this list.
