< Previous | Next >

Episode 7636 was broadcast on 11 November 2021, as part of Series 84.

Graham Grant played Mily Knoche, with Graham Grant winning 113 – 26. The Dictionary Corner guest was Alastair Campbell, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

Due to an apparent mistake in editing, the scores were shown as 35 – 0 during the first round.

NOTE: Knoche declared an eight in round eight and a six in round 12; Dent disallowed the words on account of the phantom letters: the misdeclarations were not noted.
