Episode 7577

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7577 was broadcast on 20 August 2021, as part of Series 84.

Jeremy Slaney played Shireen Ahmed, with Jeremy Slaney winning 95 – 56. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jeremy Thompson, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

The episode was billed as Rachel Riley's 3,000th episode, with Pasha Kovalev presenting her a bouquet of flowers and her daughter, Maven Riley-Kovalev making an appearance at the start of the programme.

Thompson provided the solution in Round 9, and Ahmed yielded her Round 14 pick over to Riley.

NOTE: The conundrum is illegal, as SNOWCRETE is also a valid solution.
