Revision as of 23:46, 5 August 2022 by TobyMcDonald (talk | contribs)
Episode 7820 was broadcast on 4 August 2022, as part of Series 86.
Quinn Bartlett played Shane Mooney, with Quinn Bartlett winning 102 – 57. The Dictionary Corner guest was Daniel Brocklebank, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This was the first episode presented by Les Dennis during his temporary tenure as host. This episode also reverted to eight-letter Teatime Teasers.
NOTE: Both contestants were not asked to spell their word in Round 11; therefore, they may have intended SEWING rather than SOWING.
