Episode 6657 was broadcast on 1 September 2017, as part of Series 77.

Nikki Saarsteiner played Andrew Booth, with Nikki Saarsteiner winning 73 – 48. The Dictionary Corner guest was Mark Pougatch, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Booth was asked to declare his word first in Round 5 after he admitted he had a risky 6 but opted to play a safe 5, despite the player in the champion's chair usually declaring first in odd-numbered rounds.
