Episode 707 was broadcast on 25 December 1987, and was a specially extended 45-minute Christmas Day episode for the Series 14 grand final.
Nic Brown played Joel Salkin, with Nic Brown winning 108 – 36. The Dictionary Corner guests were Gyles Brandreth and Carol Thatcher, and the lexicographer was Julia Swannel. In round 13, Karen Loughlin mistakenly put a 6 tile upside down, making it look like a 9.
