Episode 8536 was broadcast on 11 June 2025, as part of Series 91.
Cathal O'Kearney-McMullan played Joanne Laverty, with Joanne Laverty winning 88 – 15. The Dictionary Corner guest was Kate Bottley, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
In round 13, only three consonants were present in the letters selection. The Countdown rulebook states there must be a minimum of four consonants per selection (a rule which was implemented in Series 30), therefore this selection should have been declared illegal, however it went unnoticed by production and thus points scored in said round did count.
