 Five months later, Burley returned as the No. 2 seed to play the second quarter-final against No. 7-ranked six-time winner and fellow [[Apterite]] [[Tom Vincent]]. Burley stretched into a good lead early on with spots of {{word|REUSABLE}} and {{word|ANEROID}}, but Vincent narrowed his lead to three points before the second commercial break. However, Burley took further letters rounds off the opposition to ultimately confirm his spot in the second semi-final before the last numbers round.
