I was pretty out of it yesterday, so the date didn't even register, but it would have been my dad's 100th birthday on the 6th.
Happy Birthday, dad! โค๏ธ

Found this. The person on Clue Clinic contacted them a couple of years ago. In Feb 2024 posted this reply: " We do not have a firm publication date for the 14th edition of The Chambers Dictionary, but we are anticipating that it will likely be in the next couple of years."
