Episode 6595
Episode 6595 was broadcast on 2 June 2017, as part of Series 76.
Chloe Hutton played James Slater, with James Slater winning 95 – 80. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jimmy Osmond, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: Susie's invalid offering of swoonier ☓ breaks an official rule that says that if an adjective has more than one syllable, the comparative and superlative adjectives must be specified to be considered allowable on Countdown. This may have been offered because typing 'swoonier' redirects to SWOONY in Oxford Dictionaries Online. However, it is understood that these redirections do not count (the confirmed case since gammier ☓ was disallowed in Episode 7378 [1]).
