DHM2025GF

Episode DHM2025GF was played on 5 July 2025 as the grand final of Co:Durham 2025.

Dylan Taylor played Adam Latchford, with Dylan Taylor winning 132 – 122. The host was Adam Beach, the board assistant was Bradley Horrocks, and the lexicographers were Steven Grady and Tasneem Rana.

The conundrum in this game was intended to be DORYPHORE but was replaced by the preset tiebreaker after the cover fell off the board just before the scramble was revealed.

Thanks to Rachael Montgomery for this recap.
