Episode 7815

From Countdown

Episode 7815 was broadcast on 28 July 2022, as part of Series 86.

Sue Telfer played Steve Walker, with Sue Telfer winning 103 – 51. The Dictionary Corner guest was Neil Delamere, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In Round 13, neither player was asked to spell their word, but since Rachel Riley displayed the word GREAT on the letters board following the round, this has been taken as their declaration here rather than GRATE.
