Revision as of 00:47, 27 May 2024 by TobyMcDonald (talk | contribs)
Episode 8273 was broadcast on 15 May 2024, as part of Series 89.
Alex Robertson played Arthur Page, with Arthur Page winning 97 – 46. The Dictionary Corner guest was Sunetra Sarker, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Page was not asked to spell his word in Round 11 – therefore, he may have intended WATT rather than WHAT.
