Revision as of 17:23, 6 May 2022
Episode 7755 was broadcast on 5 May 2022, as part of Series 85.
Ronan Mackrory played James Symonds, with Ronan Mackrory winning 103 – 78. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jo Brand, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Due to the simplicity of Round 9, the solutions were only shown to each other. However, it is likely they both did it the way shown here.
