Episode 8382 was broadcast on 24 October 2024, as part of Series 90.

Nigel Hutchinson played Rob Baker, with Nigel Hutchinson winning 74 – 70. The Dictionary Corner guest was Linford Christie, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Hutchinson was not asked to spell his word in Round 10 – therefore, he may have intended METER rather than METRE.
