< Previous | Next >

Episode 7893 was broadcast on 15 November 2022, as part of Series 86.

Joe Dobinson played Rahul Leal, with Joe Dobinson winning 81 – 63. The Dictionary Corner guest was Bobby Seagull, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Leal was not asked to spell his word in Round 2, but since Rachel Riley displayed DRIER on the letters board, this has been taken as his declaration rather than DRYER.
