Episode 6603 was broadcast on 14 June 2017, as part of Series 76.
John Kynaston played Ken Coney, with Ken Coney winning 91 – 40. The Dictionary Corner guest was June Sarpong, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
NOTE 1: This episode's maximum score of 166 points was at the time, the joint highest in the history of the new 15-round format and the joint second highest ever (behind 9 November 2005). However, this was later surpassed by a max of 175 points on 19 January 2018.
NOTE 2: In Round 8, Kynaston was not asked to spell his word; therefore, he may have intended COARSE rather than COURSE.
