Episode 7587 was broadcast on 3 September 2021, as part of Series 84.

Kevin Wenn played John Edwards, with John Edwards winning 81 – 64. The Dictionary Corner guest was Johnny Vaughan, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Edwards declared seven in Round 4; Dent disallowed the word on the grounds that fattie ☓ is not in the dictionary and the apparent misdeclaration was not noted.
