Episode 8583 was broadcast on 15 August 2025, as part of Series 92.

Rob Moss played Paul Warriner, with Paul Warriner winning 79 – 64. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dr Ranj Singh, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NB: The second teatime teaser was illegal - it is two words in the ODO.

In Round 12, Moss was awarded seven points despite only writing down the first four letters of his word. This though did not impact the final result of the game.
