Episode 7766

From Countdown

Episode 7766 was broadcast on 20 May 2022, as part of Series 85.

Ryan Carlsen played William Kennedy, with Ryan Carlsen winning 90 – 45. The Dictionary Corner guest was Nicki Chapman, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Kennedy's Round 2 declaration of merlot ☓ should have been disallowed as it is only in the dictionary in capitalised form. This would not have affected the outcome of the round.
