Jamie Wing was a octochamp in Series 81. He's a 6th Form Student from Godalming, Surrey. He is also an Apterite.
Nicknamed "The Human Dictionary", he made his debut on 22 November 2019 against Paul Anderson, winning the game on a tiebreak conundrum. He then put in 7 sensational performances scoring 7 centuries. He wrapped up his heat run with 899 points to become an octochamp — the final of a record nine to have appeared in the series.
Ten days later, the Human Dictionary returned for the series finals, starting his finals run against number 7 seed Tom Silverlock. Wing proved unstoppable here, by scoring in every letters and numbers round and pulling away with a very good 6-small solve plus a spot of the nine-letter word ROUTINISE. His only no-score occurred in the conundrum, which Silverlock beat him to, but a strong 121 points booked Wing a place in the semifinals. He next squared off against Paul Nixon in the semi finals; though the game's score was dead level from the first break straight up to before the final letters, PACEMEN and a one-away solve on a complex six-small selection meant that he dodged a crucial conundrum and confirmed a finals spot against #1 contender James Haughton.
