Episode 8039

From Countdown

Episode 8039 was broadcast on 14 June 2023, as part of Series 87.

Graham Moonie-Dalton played Tracy Wheeler, with Graham Moonie-Dalton winning 76 – 43. The Dictionary Corner guest was Paul Sinha, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Wheeler was not asked to spell her word in Round 2 and both homophones are therefore listed here.
