Logan Skelton was a contestant in Series 90. He was a supermarket assistant from Perth, Scotland. He is also an Apterite, and made his co-event debut at Co:Glasgow 2024 in which he finished 9th out of 14 players, after his appearances were recorded but before they were due to air.

Logan faced two-time daily champion and returning contestant Liz Davies on Armistice Day; after a false start from both, Logan managed to shutout Liz in the next three rounds, surviving a botched nine-letter gamble from Liz and solving every numbers game, scoring 90 points to Liz's 54 to secure the teapot, despite missing a tough conundrum in ROCKPHASE.

Logan returned the next day to face Steve Haggerty of Essex, and in the first round, Logan became the first contestant since Paul Critchley in Episode 8362 to find a legal nine-letter word in the selection as he declared OUTLINERS, immediately taking an 18 – 0 lead. He never lost the lead during the entire game and finished on 114, his current best. His fourth game unfortunately saw the end of his run, although he did turn CURSEDPEP into SCUPPERED to finish with a flourish against challenger Nicky Wisson.
