Episode 6832 was broadcast on 23 May 2018, as part of Series 78.
Steve Middle played Terry Hyde, with Steve Middle winning 95 – 58. The Dictionary Corner guest was Barry McGuigan, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 1, Hyde was not asked to spell his word; therefore, he may have intended the word GRATE rather than GREAT.
