From Countdown
Episode 8012 was broadcast on 8 May 2023, as part of Series 87.
Adam Blundred played Mark Bayliss, with Adam Blundred winning 70 – 62. The Dictionary Corner guest was Les Dennis, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
For the fourth time, Teatime Teasers switched to nine letters beginning with this episode. NOTE: Blundred was not asked to spell his word in Round 8; therefore both homophones are listed here.
