We present the discoveries of six transiting hot Jupiters: WASP-87b,WASP-108b, WASP-109b, WASP-110b, WASP-111b and WASP-112b. The planets havemasses of 0.51--2.2 $M_{\rm Jup}$ and radii of 1.19--1.44 $R_{\rm Jup}$ and arein orbits of 1.68--3.78 d around stars with masses 0.81--1.50 $M_{\rm \odot}$.  WASP-111b is in a prograde, near-aligned ($\lambda = -5 \pm 16^\circ$),near-circular ($e < 0.10$ at 2 $\sigma$) orbit around a mid-F star. As tidalalignment around such a hot star is thought to be inefficient, this suggeststhat either the planet migrated inwards through the protoplanetary disc or thatscattering processes happened to leave it in a near-aligned orbit. WASP-111appears to have transitioned from an active to a quiescent state between the2012 and 2013 seasons, which makes the system a candidate for studying theeffects of variable activity on a hot-Jupiter atmosphere. We find evidence thatthe mid-F star WASP-87 is a visual binary with a mid-G star. Two host stars aremetal poor: WASP-112 has [Fe/H] = $-0.64 \pm 0.15$ and WASP-87 has [Fe/H] =$-0.41 \pm 0.10$. The low density of WASP-112 (0.81 $M_{\rm \odot}$, $0.80 \pm0.04$ $\rho_{\rm \odot}$) cannot be matched by standard models for anyreasonable value of the age of the star, suggesting it to be affected by the"radius anomaly".
