Episode 6332 was broadcast on 24 March 2016, as part of Series 74.
Sam Johnson played Sean Cooke, with Sean Cooke winning 67 – 62. The Dictionary Corner guest was Mark Foster, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
Notably, in Rounds 10 and 11, the vowel pile contained five consecutive Es, believed to be a record, beating the four consecutive Es that had appeared in the Richard Whiteley vs Carol Vorderman special; had Cooke chosen a fifth vowel in Round 10, five Es would have appeared in this single round.
