Episode 6686 was broadcast on 12 October 2017, as part of Series 77.

Lawrie Western played Alex Smith, with Alex Smith winning 55 – 42. The Dictionary Corner guest was Michael Whitehall, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: Western's Round 7 declaration of OUTEARN was disallowed by Dictionary Corner, though it was specified as one word in the free version of Oxford Dictionaries Online when the US Dictionary section was not separate from the UK Dictionary section at the time of broadcast. This error proved to affect the result of the game as had OUTEARN been allowed, the game would have gone to a tie-break conundrum following a 49 – 49 draw.
