Latest revision as of 15:20, 25 July 2023

Episode 6984 was broadcast on 8 January 2019, and was the fifth preliminary of Championship of Champions XV.

Paul Erdunast played Zarte Siempre, with Zarte Siempre winning 113 – 105. The Dictionary Corner guest was Kate Humble, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: When introducing Siempre, Nick Hewer incorrectly stated Philip Aston's surname as Ashton. Possibly, he could have mixed it up with Series 79 quarter-finalist Dave Ashton's surname as both only differ by one letter.

This episode was repeated on 24 July 2020.

Notably, the conundrum solution is no longer a valid word, as it is now two words in the UK section of the ODP, but one word in the US section. Lexico had the UK and US sections under one section at the time of filming, but became separate sections before the website was shut down on 26 August 2022. The US section is not used in Dictionary Corner.
