Spoilers for Thursday 10th September 2026 - Series 94 - Heat 54

Post by Stewart Gordon »

I'm puzzled by Susie's explanation of PANTOFLE. The Oxford Learner's Dictionary doesn't list the word. Just about every OneLook hit gives it as simply a slipper - nothing about being high-heeled. What exactly is the definition in the Countdown dictionary?
