Episode 6661 was broadcast on 7 September 2017, as part of Series 77.

Steve Anderson played Sarah Holey, with Sarah Holey winning 94 – 54. The Dictionary Corner guest was Gloria Hunniford, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In Round 7, the contestants were not asked to spell their word, but since Rachel Riley displayed the word QUARTZ on the board after the round, this has been taken as their declaration here rather than QUARTS.
