Episode 2682 was broadcast on 6 January 2000, as part of Series 42.

Helen Wrigglesworth played Malcolm McInnes, with Malcolm McInnes winning 40 – 38. The Dictionary Corner guest was Richard Digance, and the lexicographer was Mark Nyman.

NOTE: In Round 3, Wrigglesworth offered the word ROADSIDE, which was disallowed by Mark Nyman due to its non-appearance in the COD10 (which was introduced at the start of that day's filming). Whilst not technically an error by Nyman, it was subsequently discovered that no compound words were in the COD10 (such as COWGIRL, which appeared a few episodes later), highlighting its uselessness to Countdown, and so it was adjudged that, given the general ubiquity of the word, ROADSIDE ought to have been allowed; the final score should have been 46 – 33 in Wrigglesworth's favour. As a result of this, Wrigglesworth was allowed to return to continue her run some weeks later in Episode 2717. Unusually, this was announced by means of voiceover at the end of this programme.

The incident also caused the show to revert to the COD9 (using the COD10 as a backup) from Episode 2685 for the rest of Series 42. Series 43 used the New Oxford Dictionary of English (NODE), and its subsequent editions were used until Series 70.
