Episode 6734 was broadcast on 20 December 2017, and was the first semi-final of Series 77.
Tom Chafer-Cook played Noel McIlvenny, with Tom Chafer-Cook winning 134 – 83. The Dictionary Corner guest was Rufus Hound, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
The question that Dent answered in Origins of Words was brought in by Series 70 contestant and future Series 92 octochamp, Ciaran McCarthy.
NOTE: In Round 14, Chafer-Cook was not asked to show his solution as Nick Hewer decided to skip it due to the round being too easy. However, it can be assumed he did it using the method below.
