 [[Helen Wrigglesworth]] played [[Malcolm McInnes]], with Malcolm McInnes winning {{score|40|38}}. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Richard Digance]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Mark Nyman]].
-NOTE: In Round 3, Wrigglesworth offered the word {{word|ROADSIDE}}, which was disallowed by [[Mark Nyman]] due to its non-appearance in the [[Concise Oxford Dictionary (10th Edition)|COD10]] (which was introduced at the start of that day's filming). Whilst not technically an error by Nyman, it was subsequently discovered that no compound words were in the COD10 (such as {{word|COWGIRL}}, which appeared [[Episode 2685|a few episodes later]]), highlighting its uselessness to ''[[Countdown]]'', and so it was adjudged that, given the general ubiquity of the word, {{word|ROADSIDE}} ought to have been allowed; the final score should have been {{score|46|33}} in Wrigglesworth's favour. As a result of this, Wrigglesworth was allowed to return to continue her run some weeks later in [[Episode 2717]].

 The incident also caused the show to revert to the COD9 (using the COD10 as a backup) from [[Episode 2685]] for the rest of [[Series 42]]. [[Series 43]] used the New Oxford Dictionary of English (NODE), and its subsequent editions were used until [[Series 70]].
