Who has been the youngest celeb in the dictorany corner. I wonder if Adele Silva from Emmerdale might fill a role. She looks bright


You really don't have to be bright to be in dictionary corner. Just listen to what the people with computers searching anagrams behind the scenes are telling you. Wink

They don't use computers, but then you probably knew that and are trying to wind people up...

They have ear pieces which sometimes feed them words worked out by others working on the same set of letters behind the scenes, but computers aren't used, it's all done by hand. Apparently.

It is all by hand. I heard they have a tem from Mensa behind the scenes who work out words quickly like the anagram, they feed it through to the corner, thepople it there scribble it down.

Either way, the minor celeb sat in Dictionary Corner doesn't have to be brilliant on anagrams.

One thing I do know for certain though is that Carol uses a calculator to help her with the sums, as I've seen her with my own eyes.
