Episode 7846

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7846 was broadcast on 9 September 2022, as part of Series 86.

Joseph Bartram played Rob Chapman, with Joseph Bartram winning 82 – 47. The Dictionary Corner guest was Nina Wadia, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This episode began at 14:14 (though still billed as 14:10) and aired without adverts or sponsorship due to Channel 4's coverage of the death of Queen Elizabeth II the previous day, meaning it finished ahead of schedule. This also makes this episode the first to be broadcast since Charles III took to the throne, in response to the previous monarch's death the day before.

Both contestants were returning contestants, with Bartram having previously appeared in Series 63 and Chapman in Series 62.
