Revision as of 16:24, 4 January 2016
Episode 6278 was broadcast on 4 January 2016, and was the first preliminary of Championship of Champions XIV.
Tom Cappleman played Glen Webb, with Tom Cappleman winning 133 – 115. The Dictionary Corner guest was Gloria Hunniford, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This was the first episode sponsored by HSL: Your Chair Specialists.
This episode marked the first instance in which any player spotted three nine-letter words in a new 15-round game, as well as the first (in any format) in which both contestants spotted three nine-letter words. Cappleman and Webb's combined score of 248 is also the highest ever achieved in the new 15-round format.
