Revision as of 22:35, 14 December 2024 by TobyMcDonald (talk | contribs)
Episode 8417 was broadcast on 12 December 2024, as the first quarter-final of Series 90.
Chris Kirby played Neil Holland, with Chris Kirby winning 96 – 68. The Dictionary Corner guest was Rory Bremner, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Holland was not asked to spell his word in Round 5 – therefore, he may have intended SOWING rather than SEWING.
