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 this surprisingly went unnoticed by production and therefore points scored in this round did count. This is the first round since the rule change to have such an occurrence.

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.

NOTE 1: In Round 2, O'Kearney-McMullan was not asked to spell his word – therefore, he may have intended PARES rather than PEARS.

NOTE 2: In Round 13, it went unnoticed that the letters selection only contained three consonants, which goes against the rule enforced since Series 30 that letters selections must contain at least four consonants. This is the first round since the rule change to have too few consonants.
