Scrabble champion Chris May has beaten the world record for the most games played at once tonight.
The 29-year-old Oxford Scrabble Club member successfully completed his world record attempt to play and win the most games simultaneously by a single player.
The Lincoln College student took four hours, played around 400 words and 28 opponents at Oxford University Press.
Mr May launched his attempt after lunchtime today and wrapped up play by 7pm tonight.
He told the Oxford Mail: "It was exhausting, going from one to the other and constantly thinking.
"I was most worried that when I got round to them again the boards would look unfamiliar because there were 27 in between but they stuck in my mind.
"I'm really pleased and looking forward to Guinness World Record confirming it."
