Episode 7614

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7614 was broadcast on 12 October 2021, as part of Series 84.

Matt Watts played Adam Beach, with Adam Beach winning 83 – 54. The Dictionary Corner guest was Keith Allen, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Red Bee Media's failures continued into this episode; not only did it lack subtitles, but the screen froze during Round 9, and about half of Adam's method plus the Teaser was not broadcast. Allen offered a correct solution for R6. In R13, Beach had the same word as Watts, but he had not declared beforehand that it was not written down, however the word - MASHIER - was invalid anyway. Riley solved the conundrum.
