Episode 8282

From Countdown

Episode 8282 was broadcast on 28 May 2024, as part of Series 89.

Chrono Yuen played Claire McMaster, with Chrono Yuen winning 102 – 41. The Dictionary Corner guest was Levi Roots, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: McMaster was not asked to spell her word in Round 7 – therefore, she may have intended SPAED rather than SPADE.
