Revision as of 19:24, 6 March 2023
Episode 7967 was broadcast on 6 March 2023, as part of Series 87.
Dan Spinks played Dave Butler, with Dan Spinks winning 67 – 66. The Dictionary Corner guest was Ore Oduba, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Spinks' Round 11 word PEATIEST appears in the Oxford Dictionary Premium and was therefore wrongly disallowed, meaning that the correct final score should have been 75 – 59 and the conundrum should have been non-crucial.
