Episode 7495 was broadcast on 27 April 2021, as part of Series 83.
Dave Lomax played Tomas Banerjee, with Tomas Banerjee winning 81 – 68. The presenter was Nick Hewer, the Dictionary Corner guest was Chris Packham, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Riley only gave a truncated version of her solution in Round 14, only giving "101 × 6 + 75". However, this was the only possible method of getting to 681.
