Episode 6603
Episode 6603 was broadcast on 14 June 2017, as part of Series 76.
John Kynaston played Ken Coney, with Ken Coney winning 91 – 40. The Dictionary Corner guest was June Sarpong, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This episode's maximum score of 166 points was, at the time, the joint highest in the history of the new 15-round format, and the joint second highest ever (behind only Episode 3967 in Series 54). However, this was later surpassed by a max of 175 points in Episode 6745 in Series 78.
NOTE: In Round 8, Kynaston was not asked to spell his word; therefore, he may have intended the word COARSE rather than COURSE.
