< Previous | Next >

Episode 5685 was broadcast on 23 April 2013, as part of Series 68.

Jill Hayward played Pat Gardner, with Jill Hayward winning 104 – 63. The Dictionary Corner guest was Paul Zenon, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Gardner's declaration of TAXIES was originally disallowed. But after Round 9, Dent checked the definition of the word and found a misprint in the text, so she reversed the decision.
