'''Episode 7855''' was broadcast on 23 September 2022, as part of [[Series 86]].

[[Alan Young]] played [[Natalie Curran]], with Alan Young winning {{score|84|72}}. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Noreen Khan]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Susie Dent]].

Some accommodations were made to account for Curran's blindness. [[Rachel Riley]] distinguished the letters {{word|N}} and {{word|M}} by saying "{{word|N}} for November" or "{{word|M}} for Mother"; when Young's numbers solution in Round 3 matched Curran's, it was checked by Khan; and [[Colin Murray]] read out the [[conundrum]] scramble verbally prior to starting the clock.

The solution for 773 in Round 3 was given by Dent.
