Episode CLAN11
Episode CLAN11, billed as Celebrity Letters and Numbers Series 1, Episode 11 was a special episode broadcast on 11 December 2021 as part of Celebrity Letters and Numbers.
Matt Okine, Jennifer Wong and Todd McKenney were the contestants, while Michael Hing reprised his role as the host.
The match saw Matt Okine winning by 48 – 37 – 27 and he won the 1989 edition of "R to S" section form the Oceaniapaedia encyclopedia.
Lily Serna was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Carlo Ritchie, and the lexicographer was David Astle.
In this version of the game, three players competing with each other instead of traditional two. Also, this version notably uses a scoring system whereby all players receive points for each valid word or solution, even if beaten by their opponents (equivalent to them receiving their "raw scores").
In Letters Rounds of this version, all the words are checked by their presence in Collins Dictionary instead of Oxford, meaning that American and other spellings of the words are eligible.
In Numbers Rounds of this version, players receive points for their declarations, even if the solutions for players' declarations were not provided in the show, assuming they were cut out from broadcasting to speed up the show. Also, player can get points if their solution leads to the result which not matches with the declared result, but it's still in scoring margin.
