Latest revision as of 13:22, 12 June 2025

Episode 8526 was broadcast on 28 May 2025, as part of Series 91.

Tom Gibbon played Guy Crozier, with Guy Crozier winning 103 – 61. The Dictionary Corner guest was Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Round 6 marked the first time in 31 years since 8 March 1994 on this version of the show where a numbers game could be solved without using any mathematical operators. Neither Gibbon nor Crozier were asked for their solutions, so it can be assumed they only had simply declared the target.
