Revision as of 16:35, 19 January 2016
Episode 6289 was broadcast on 19 January 2016, and was the fourth quarter-final of Championship of Champions XIV.
Dan McColm played Mark Murray, with Dan McColm winning 112 – 99. The Dictionary Corner guest was Naga Munchetty, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
In a rare error, when Rachel Riley displayed the word WEIRDOS on the letters board in Round 11, it was misspelt as WIERDOS.
