Revision as of 14:26, 10 September 2020 by The Doctor (talk | contribs)
Episode 6214 was broadcast on 23 September 2015, as part of Series 73.
Thomas Carey played Mary Fox, with Thomas Carey winning 116 – 37. The Dictionary Corner guest was Sir Ranulph Fiennes, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In round 8, Fox's declaration of VOILES should have been disallowed as VOILE is only listed as a mass noun in the dictionary, so the score should have finished 116 – 31.
