Episode 6412
From Countdown
Episode 6412 was broadcast on 11 August 2016, as part of Series 75.
Annie Humphries played Roy Davies, with Annie Humphries winning 87 – 52. The Dictionary Corner guest was Charlie Stayt, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
In Round 1, Dictionary Corner did not note that Humphries' offering of LEGUMES was invalid, as there was only one E in the selection. In Round 4, her offering of spored ☓ was also invalid, simply not being in the dictionary. However, neither of these affected the outcome of the round.
