From Countdown
Episode 2271 was broadcast on 28 May 1998, as part of Series 38.
Jill Bright played Wilma Anscombe, with Jill Bright winning 81 - 38. The Dictionary Corner guest was Merrill Thomas, and the lexicographer was Mark Nyman. This game was notable as Jill spotted two nine-letter words in the first two rounds whilst Wilma didn't, resulting in Jill having a 36-0 lead going into round 3. Had Jill buzzed in to the conundrum faster than Wilma, she would have had a final score of 91, which would easily have been the highest in the 9 round format.
