Murray did say HYALINES, though

The Doctor: correct max and add the other 7 Susie mentioned, don't know if there are any others

correct max and add the other 7 Susie mentioned, don't know if there are any others

Mclarenguy22: I believe Susie was correct not to say HYALINES, I hope my ticket explains > https://www.apterous.org/ticket_view.php?ticket=5976. Note that Countdown adjudicates words against ODO rather than ODE.

'''Episode 7424''' was broadcast on 18 January 2021, as part of [[Series 83]].

[[Darren Phipps-Walker]] played [[Matthew Chivers]], with Matthew Chivers winning {{score|70|66}}. The [[presenter]] was [[Colin Murray]], the [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Richard Arnold]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Susie Dent]].

In Round 5, Dent did not pluralise {{word|HYALINE}} and its definition in the dictionary is somewhat ambiguous as to whether it can be pluralised or not. However, Murray appeared to say {{word|HYALINES}}, perhaps inadvertently, when Dent had finished.

Round 6's solution was offered by Murray.

In Round 10, for unknown reasons, Chivers was asked to declare his word first despite declaring a longer word than Phipps-Walker. Additionally, Arnold also incorrectly stated that {{word|DECAMP}} was a 7, when it was actually a 6.
