Episode LAN062

< Previous | Next >

Episode 62 of Letters and Numbers was broadcast on 26 October 2010, as part of Series 1.

Veronica Corrigan played Dave Wilson, with Veronica Corrigan winning 54 – 27.

NOTE: David Astle's Round 1 offering of GUSSIED is not valid in the Macquarie Dictionary, as it is found only in the phrase "gussied up". However, at this early juncture in the show's history, there was no firm rule in place to disallow words that appear only in compounds, and so GUSSIED remains noted in this recap.
