< Previous | Next >

Episode 6750 was broadcast on 26 January 2018, as part of Series 78.

Chris Thorn played Sam Prouse, with Chris Thorn winning 93 – 77. The Dictionary Corner guest was John Inverdale, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE 1: In Round 1, Dictionary Corner's offering of APESHIT was bleeped out entirely. Compared to Episode 6618, where the second syllable of that word was done so in Round 8.

NOTE 2: The numbers targets in this game were identical to those in Episode 6884, aired later in the year.
