Michael Macdonald-Cooper played William Bailey, with Michael Macdonald-Cooper winning 103 – 88. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dr Phil Hammond, and the lexicographer was Alison Heard.

NOTE: Bailey was not asked to spell his word in Round 11 – therefore, he may have intended MOTE rather than MOAT.
