< Previous | Next >

Episode 7612 was broadcast on 8 October 2021, as part of Series 84.

Ahmed Mohamed played Kerry Holden, with Ahmed Mohamed winning 112 – 66. The Dictionary Corner guest was Dr Phil Hammond, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Channel 4's technical failures continued in this episode – the second advert break was cued in too early that omitted the Teatime Teaser, the clue and the break bumper. Luckily, Anne Robinson reprised the clue after the break. The same issue retained when the morning rerun of this episode aired on 2 November 2021.

From the following episode, Teatime Teasers reverted from nine to eight letters.
