Episode 8362 was broadcast on 26 September 2024, as part of Series 90.

Tricia Dadd played Paul Critchley, with Tricia Dadd winning 89 – 85. The Dictionary Corner guest was Bob Harris, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

The second Teatime Teaser, discophil ☓, was invalid as it had been removed in the 2024 OED word cull.

For the first time in over 41 years, the Round 11 letters game contained only four different letters, which is likely the lowest number ever.
