-There were many notable moments in this episode in every single round, as listed belows:
+'''Just before Round 5, there was a bonus round in which both teams had to guess what Danny wrote on two of his tweets with a word on each blacked out, however no one got the correct word for both. Instead, there was an extra bonus asking why Danny considered himself to be middle class, to which Sean answered correctly, thus five points were awarded to his team.'''
-In Round 1, it is odd that after Joe declared the word "GRAFTER", Susie Dent said it was invalid as there were two "l"s that needed to make up that word; it should have been two "r"s.
+Interesting and notable moments from the episode are listed below:
-In Round 2, Danny Dyer voluntarily did not participate and as a result, he did not have an answer to declare.
+) During the Introduction, Joe showed his prop which was a "family photo" with everyone wearing masks which was so big it came hanging down from the ceiling of the studio. Also, Sean showed off a drone to which he flew off the table causing some of his papers to drop off as well. At the same time, Joe tried to insert a fake fish into the bucket to which it was attached to the drone and even with help from David, failed to the point he furiously kicked the fish into the audience. Later on just after Round 3, Sean used it again to fly a "carcass" of a bird while the song [[wikipedia:Lean on Me (song)|Lean on Me]] was played in the background.
-In Round 3, Joe Wilkinson kept interrupting Danny Dyer while he was selecting the letters by deliberately asking for specific letters which is not possible, but this did not stop Rachel from picking Danny's selection as he had the right to choose the letters for that round.
+) During the 30 seconds in Round 1, Jimmy was surrounded by bat puppets and after several "claps" of thunder, turned into Dracula which notably shocked Gabby.
-In Round 4, David O'Doherty was invited to give the solution on behalf of Rachel Riley. Notably, as he started to write out the solution the marker ink faded and in a rage he threw it on the floor with so much force that it caused the "25" to drop off from the board.
+) In Round 2, Danny voluntarily did not participate and as a result, he did not have any answer to declare.
-In Round 5, with only 8 letters on the board David O'Doherty immediately spotted the word "IRELAND" which Joe used to his advantage but unfortunately as countries were considered a mass noun, they are disallowed, thus no points were awarded to his team.
+) In Round 3, Joe kept interrupting Danny while he was selecting the letters by deliberately asking for specific letters which was not possible, but this did not stop Rachel from picking Danny's selection as he had the right to choose the letters for that round. Also, the clock music was replaced with an Irish dance music with six women dressed in traditional Irish dresses dancing in the centre of the studio with Jimmy "dancing along" to the right of where they were.
-In Round 6, the fourth letter was originally an "X", but was thrown out as Joe Wilkinson said nobody liked that letter and was replaced by a "W". Also, encouraged by Jimmy's words to get a nine-letter word, he said ETOWHATLA and to amusingly prove it "was" in the dictionary, Susie brought out the [[Pencam]] and showed him what he spelled which was written on another piece of paper with a pen sticked onto the Dictionary. ''It is noted that even with the original selection with the "X" and the last letter "A" missing, the maximum score would not have been impacted.''

+) In Round 6, the fourth letter was originally an {{word|X}}, but was thrown out as Joe said nobody liked that letter and was replaced by the {{word|W}}. ''However, even if that had not happened, the maximum for the original selection would still be {{word|OATHLET}} and thus unaffected.'' Also, encouraged by Jimmy's words to get a nine-letter word, he declared {{word|etowhatla {{x}}}} and to amusingly prove it "was" in the dictionary, Susie brought out the [[Pencam]] and showed him what he spelled which was written on another piece of paper with a pen sticked onto where that word would be in the ODE.
-NOTE: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.
