Episode 8433

< Previous | Next >

Episode 8433 was broadcast on 17 January 2025, as part of Series 91.

Joe Davies played Divya Gorasia, with Joe Davies winning 99 – 59. The Dictionary Corner guest was Sunetra Sarker, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE 1: In Round 8, Dictionary Corner did not specify whether they offered RADICAL or RADICLE – the subtitles indicated RADICAL.

NOTE 2: In Round 11, Gorasia was not asked to spell her word – therefore, she may have intended PRIED rather than PRIDE.
