Episode 1339 was broadcast on 19 January 1993, as part of Series 25.

Mike Drew played Margaret McHugh, with Margaret McHugh winning 62 – 52, after a tie-break conundrum. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jenny Hanley, and the lexicographer was Richard Samson.

NOTE: Both contestants' declarations of POSTINGS in Round 7 should have been disallowed, as POSTING cannot be pluralised in the COD8, so the final score should have been 44 – 54.
