Episode 6886

Episode 6886 was broadcast on 10 August 2018, as part of Series 79.

NOTE: In Round 8, Rush was not asked to spell his word; therefore, he may have intended WONT rather than WANT.

NOTE 2: In Round 12, Rush was not shown on being asked to verify that his word was written down though it was the same as Billington's.
