Episode 8238 was broadcast on 27 March 2024, as part of Series 89.

Toby Byfield played Gerry Kelly, with Toby Byfield winning 108 – 59. The Dictionary Corner guest was Paul Sinha, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Kelly was not asked to spell his word in Round 8 – therefore, he may have intended POLLS rather than POLES.
