Episode 6686 was broadcast on 12 October 2017, as part of Series 77.

Lawrie Western played Alex Smith, with Alex Smith winning 55 – 42. The Dictionary Corner guest was Michael Whitehall, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Western's Round 7 declaration of OUTEARN was disallowed by Dictionary Corner, though it can be found in the Oxford Dictionary Online. This error proved to affect the result of the game, which, had OUTEARN been allowed, would have gone to a tie-break conundrum following a 49 – 49 draw.
