Episode 6584 was broadcast on 17 May 2017, as part of Series 76.
Amber Cotton played Jonathan De Souza, with Amber Cotton winning 85 – 64. The Dictionary Corner guest was Chris Hollins, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE: In Round 4, De Souza asked for a consonant as his fifth letter but was given a vowel instead. Additionally in the same round, Dictionary Corner did not note that De Souza's offering of TONNE was invalid as there was only one N in the selection. However, this proved academic as Cotton offered a longer word anyway.
