Episode 6870

< Previous | Next >

Episode 6870 was broadcast on 19 July 2018, as part of Series 79.

John Mason played Anne Marrs, with John Mason winning 78 – 47. The Dictionary Corner guest was Anita Rani, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Marrs was asked to declare her word first in Round 2, even though she had declared a 7 and Mason only a 6. Also, Dictionary Corner did not mention that Mason's offering of gilted ☓ in this round was invalid, although this proved to be academic anyway.
