Episode 6337
Episode 6337 was broadcast on 1 April 2016, as part of Series 74.
Sean Cooke played John Parke, with John Parke winning 66 – 63. The Dictionary Corner guest was Tim Vine, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This episode began at 3:05pm, 5 minutes earlier than normal, to accommodate Formula 1 racing coverage on Channel 4. In addition, as it was April Fool's Day, Susie Dent offered totally fake etymologies during her Origins of Words slot, admitting their untruth at the end of the show.
