Episode 7593

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7593 was broadcast on 13 September 2021, as part of Series 84.

Adele Hannigan played Jodine Lawrence, with Jodine Lawrence winning 78 – 63. The Dictionary Corner guest was Pam Ayres, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This was a rare instance of a heat game featuring two returning daily champions, since Lawrence was the carry-over contestant from the preceding "Black to Front" episode.

Interestingly, Dent offered the invalid word uptakes ☓ in Round 12 - this would have been disallowed had a contestant offered it, as UPTAKE is a mass noun.
