Episode 7625
Episode 7625 was broadcast on 27 October 2021, as part of Series 84.
Jasamrit Rahala played Mick Duthie, with Mick Duthie winning 75 – 69. The Dictionary Corner guest was Len Goodman, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This episode was delayed by 13 minutes due to a technical failure which affected the end of Steph's Packed Lunch immediately before it, and thus began at 2:23pm. As some way of compensation, the second advert break was considerably shorter, showing just one trailer and no adverts. Additionally, the High Definition feed of the episode was seven seconds behind the Standard Definition feed, and this continued for approximately two weeks. The +1 feed of this episode aired at 3:25pm.
NOTE: The validity of MODIST is disputed, as it is labelled the US equivalent of MODISTE in the ODO, which possibly indicates an American spelling. Had it been disallowed, Rahala would have won 74 – 69.
