Episode 6329 was broadcast on 21 March 2016, as part of Series 74.

Conrad Teixeira played Andrew Goddard, with Conrad Teixeira winning 87 – 67. The Dictionary Corner guest was Mark Foster, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

This episode was removed from All 4 and will not be repeated, due to a complaint being made to Ofcom that Nick Hewer's introduction and Mark Foster's anecdote contained excessive commercial promotion. Ofcom ruled that the programme was in breach of rules on promotion and undue prominence of products. [1]
