NOTE: In Round 5, Crozier's declaration of {{word|hoorays {{x}}}} is invalid in the ''[[Oxford Dictionaries Premium|ODP]]'' as it redirects to the nounal entry for {{word|HURRAH/HURRAY}} but is not specified. {{word|HOORAY}} only has a separate entry as an exclamation which cannot be pluralised. Therefore, the final score should have been {{score|73|92}}.

Latest revision as of 03:44, 2 June 2025

Episode 8527 was broadcast on 29 May 2025, as part of Series 91.

Guy Crozier played Ashley Upchurch, with Ashley Upchurch winning 87 – 80. The Dictionary Corner guest was Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In Round 5, Crozier's declaration of hoorays ☓ is invalid in the ODP as it redirects to the nounal entry for HURRAH/HURRAY but is not specified. HOORAY only has a separate entry as an exclamation which cannot be pluralised. Therefore, the final score should have been 73 – 92.
