Episode 8536 was broadcast on 11 June 2025, as part of Series 91.

Cathal O'Kearney-McMullan played Joanne Laverty, with Joanne Laverty winning 88 – 15. The Dictionary Corner guest was Kate Bottley, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE 1: In Round 2, O'Kearney-McMullan was not asked to spell his word – therefore, he may have intended PARES rather than PEARS.

NOTE 2: In Round 13, it was unnoticed that the letters round only contained three consonants. This goes against the enforced rule that since Series 30, letters selections must have no less than four consonants. This is the first round to have too few consonants since the rule change.
