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 – as a result, approximately half of Adam's method, plus the second teatime teaser, were not broadcast.

Allen offered a correct solution for Round 6. The conundrum was solved by Riley.
