From Countdown
Episode 8402 was broadcast on 21 November 2024, as part of Series 90.
Helen McGivern played Sophie Pawson, with Helen McGivern winning 73 – 43. The Dictionary Corner guest was Levi Roots, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Pawson was not asked to spell her word in Round 2 – therefore, she may have intended SPAED rather than SPADE.
