< Previous | Next >

Episode 7621 was broadcast on 21 October 2021, as part of Series 84.

Jasamrit Rahala played Chris Jefferies, with Jasamrit Rahala winning 90 – 39. The Dictionary Corner guest was Lesley Joseph, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Strangely, an applause to Rahala's narrowly incorrect attempt at the conundrum was heard, immediately after the answer was revealed, thus creating some confusion amongst viewers as to whether he had answered correctly or not.
