Episode 6822
From Countdown
Episode 6822 was broadcast on 9 May 2018, as part of Series 78.
Paul Harper played James Forrest, with Paul Harper winning 97 – 28. The Dictionary Corner guest was Adrian Chiles, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Forrest's Round 2 offering of weasled ☓ has the dubious distinction of being disallowed for three reasons: it is not valid on Countdown (being an American spelling), it is not in the selection, and he had declared it as a seven.
