Episode 8673
Episode 8673 was broadcast on 19 December 2025, as the grand final of Series 92.
Jase Cullen played Brett Davids, with Jase Cullen winning 118 – 76. The Dictionary Corner guest was Christopher Biggins, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Both contestants were returning contestants, with Cullen having first appeared in Series 57 and Davids in Series 70.
In Round 14, Rachel Riley gave a truncated best possible solution of 8 × (100 + 4) without fully specifying how to obtain it. Hence, a possible way to do so has been shown below. Additionally, a blooper occurred during the closing scenes where the lid of the Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy fell off, with no retake being done.
