Episode 7932 was broadcast on 16 January 2023, and was the third quarter-final of Championship of Champions XVI.

Ahmed Mohamed played Luke Johnson-Davies, with Ahmed Mohamed winning 132 – 100. The Dictionary Corner guest was Rick Edwards, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE 1: The first "half" of this game marked the first time both contestants scored the theoretical maximum number of points in any "half", with both getting back-to-back nine-letter words and 10 points from the numbers game in the first three rounds.

NOTE 2: Both contestants' Round 11 offering of DOUGLAS (the plural of DOUGLA) was cut from the broadcast, because DOUGLA is marked as a derogatory ethnic term in Oxford Dictionaries Premium.

NOTE 3: This episode featured both series champions who did not lift the Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy on air: when Johnson-Davies won Series 82 and when Mohamed won Series 84.

This was the last episode to be sponsored by Recliner Factory.
