Episode 6629
From Countdown
Revision as of 23:50, 5 September 2017 by Ray Wilding (talk | contribs) (Undo revision 108294 by RLSJ1997 (talk) K has been used in conundrums (episodes 6649/6650), but is still absent from the consonant pile.)
Episode 6629 was broadcast on 24 July 2017, as part of Series 77.
John Cowen played Andrew Alden, with John Cowen winning 97 – 74. The Dictionary Corner guest was Chris Packham, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Round 13 featured the last appearance of the letter K in a letters game to date; following this episode, the K tile was apparently misplaced and has not been seen since.
