Episode 7869 was broadcast on 12 October 2022, as part of Series 86.
Mike Toms played Jo Langham, with Mike Toms winning 96 – 60. The Dictionary Corner guest was Ardal O'Hanlon, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Notably, the 8-letter word COUNTIES came up in perfect reverse order in Round 4. O'Hanlon remarked that he spotted it by looking backwards across the board.
