Episode 6259 was broadcast on 27 November 2015, as part of Series 73.
James Richards played Indika Sarathchandra, with James Richards winning 104 – 38. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Madeley, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Sarathchandra was not asked to spell her word in Round 2 but since Rachel Riley displayed PEAKING on the letters board, this has been taken as her declaration rather than PEEKING.
