Episode 3152 was broadcast on 25 December 2001, and was the Series 46 grand final.

Steve Sandalls played Ben Wilson, with Ben Wilson winning 84 – 75. The Dictionary Corner guest was Geoffrey Durham, and the lexicographer was Clare Pemberton.

NOTE 1: The solution for Round 5 was given by Wilson, after he gave out his original declaration of 373.

NOTE 2: The conundrum had two valid solutions: ASSISTANT and SATANISTS. But the Contestant Guidelines say that the conundrum will not be a plural ending in -S, thus making ASSISTANT a valid conundrum and SATANISTS not.

NOTE 3: The tie worn by Richard Whiteley which was sent in by a viewer, made the following day's headlines – it spelt out COUNTDOWN but his microphone covered the first O and the desk covered DOWN, thus leaving a certain four-letter word.

NOTE 4: This was the first series grand final to show the best bits of the series.
