Episode 6908
From Countdown
Episode 6908 was broadcast on 12 September 2018, as part of Series 79.
Dave Ashton played Kim Wilson, with Dave Ashton winning 87 – 36. The Dictionary Corner guest was Charlie Stayt, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 4, Wilson was not asked to spell her word; therefore, she may have intended the word PLAIN rather than PLANE. In addition, in Round 10, Dictionary Corner's offering of VESTIARY was misspelt as VESTUARY on the letters board.
