Series 71 is the next series of Countdown, and the sixth regular series presented by Nick Hewer. Series 71 began on 30 June 2014 and will end in December 2014.

This series is also notable for the ODE3 being replaced by the Oxford Dictionary Online (ODO), and with Susie Dent now using a laptop computer in Dictionary Corner, in place of the usual paper dictionary.
