< 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 ODP only as an exclamation, not as a noun or verb. [1]
