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 can be found un-hyphenated in the Oxford Dictionary Online under the US Dictionary section. This error proved to affect the result of the game, which, had OUTEARN been allowed, would have gone to a tie-break conundrum following a 49 – 49 draw. This is the third incorrect disallowance of the series after SHAMER and DEFAMOUS.
