Episode 6980 was broadcast on 2 January 2019, and was the first preliminary of Championship of Champions XV.

Jonathan Wynn played Phil Davies, with Jonathan Wynn winning 103 – 68. The Dictionary Corner guest was Kate Humble, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.

NOTE: In Round 4, although Davies was not asked to spell his word, further clarification from him showed that he had ROUTERS rather than ROOTERS.

This episode was repeated on 20 July 2020.
