Episode 6893

< Previous | Next >

Episode 6893 was broadcast on 21 August 2018, as part of Series 79.

Adam Rolston played Fiona O'Reilly, with Adam Rolston winning 68 – 40. The Dictionary Corner guest was Raj Bisram, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In Round 4, O'Reilly was not asked to spell her word; therefore, she may have intended the word REINS rather than RAINS. In addition, in Round 7, Dictionary Corner spotted LEGATOS, but incorrectly stated that it was a 6 rather than a 7.
