Episode 5721

Episode 5721 was broadcast on 28 June 2013, and was the Series 68 grand final.

Giles Hutchings played Andy Platt, with Giles Hutchings winning 95 – 86. The Dictionary Corner guest was Myleene Klass, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Platt was not asked to spell his word in Round 11; therefore, he may have intended HARE rather than HAIR.
