Episode 7826

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7826 was broadcast on 12 August 2022, as part of Series 86.

Simon Atkinson played Naz Islam, with Naz Islam winning 78 – 72. The Dictionary Corner guest was Heather Small, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Islam was not asked to spell his word in Round 8, nor was Atkinson in Round 10 – therefore, both homophones are listed in each case. In Round 12, Rachel Riley displayed BARMIEST rather than BALMIEST on the board, and this is therefore taken to be both contestants' word.
