Episode 6690 was broadcast on 18 October 2017, as part of Series 77.

Alex Smith played James Kennedy, with James Kennedy winning 80 – 73. The Dictionary Corner guest was Adrian Chiles, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: During the Conundrum Round, both contestants' monitors crashed, and as a result, they had to look directly at the board during that Round.[1]
