'''Episode 6727''' was broadcast on 11 December 2017, as part of [[Series 77]].

[[Chris Weldon]] played [[Michelle Riley]], with Chris Weldon winning {{score|93|59}}. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guest was [[Paul Zenon]], and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Susie Dent]].

NOTE: Although allowed by Dictionary Corner, Michelle Riley's Round 2 offering of {{word|RULER}} was invalid, as there was only one {{word|R}} in the selection. In addition, her Round 7 offering of {{word|TRICES}} was stated to be allowable, though the [[Oxford Dictionary of English|ODO]] states that {{word|TRICE}} only occurs in the phrase "in a trice", thus making it rather illogical to pluralise. Neither error affected the game's scoreline, however, as Weldon declared longer words in both cases.
