Episode CLAN7

From Countdown

Episode CLAN7, billed as Celebrity Letters and Numbers Series 1, Episode 7 was a special episode broadcast on 13 November 2021 as part of Celebrity Letters and Numbers.

Jennifer Wong, Nakkiah Lui and Merrick Watts were the contestants, while Michael Hing reprised his role as the host.

The match saw Jennifer Wong winning by 42 – 29 – 14 and she won the 1986 edition of "C to D" section form the Oceaniapaedia encyclopedia.

Lily Serna was, as ever, the arithmetician. The Dictionary Corner guest was Adam Richard, and the lexicographer was David Astle.

NOTE 1: In this version, 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").

NOTE 2: 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.
