Episode 8526 was broadcast on 28 May 2025, as part of Series 91.
Tom Gibbon played Guy Crozier, with Guy Crozier winning 103 – 61. The Dictionary Corner guest was Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 6, neither Gibbon nor Crozier were asked for their solutions on account of the target being straightforward, so the workings below are assumed.
