 [[Stan Arnott]] played [[Phil O'Gorman]], with Stan Arnott winning {{score|61|41}}. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Penny Smith]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Mark Nyman]].
-NOTE: Arnott's solution to the second [[numbers game]] in Round 8 should have been disallowed, as he used the '2' twice when there was only one '2' in the selection. Therefore, whilst this error did not affect the outcome of the episode, with O'Gorman offering 220 (one away from the target) the final score should have been {{score|51|48}}, assuming that O'Gorman's 220 solution was correct, rather than {{score|61|41}}. Had this error been spotted at the time, then the 10 lost points would have meant that Arnott would not have qualified for the quarter-finals of this series.
