Episode 7706

< Previous | Next >

Episode 7706 was broadcast on 25 February 2022, as part of Series 85.

Andrew Hamblen played Judy Lewis, with Andrew Hamblen winning 79 – 59. The Dictionary Corner guest was Lemn Sissay, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In Round 1, Dictionary Corner offered BOOMER, which was not actually present in the selection. Additionally, in Round 4, they offered WILCOS, which is not valid because WILCO is listed in the [[Oxford Dictionary of English|ODO}} only as an exclamation, not as a noun or verb.
