Episode 5666

< Previous | Next >

Episode 5666 was broadcast on 25 March 2013, as part of Series 68.

Andy Platt played Daniel Davies, with Andy Platt winning 100 – 33. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Arnold, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This was the first show to be played under the "new" 15 round format.

Notably, in Rounds 8 and 10; the consonant pile contained five consecutive Rs. Had Davies chosen a consonant as his final letter in Round 10, five Rs would have appeared in this single round (and the max would've been 4 points).
