Episode 8001 was broadcast on 21 April 2023, as part of Series 87.
Pouvanen Pillay played Jerry Ferris, with Jerry Ferris winning 85 – 81. The Dictionary Corner guest was Justin Moorhouse, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Ferris was not asked to spell his word in Round 11; therefore, he may have intended SUITER rather than SUITOR.
