And they've added a new penalty if someone blurts out a password like Fallon did--the other side gets two points. In previous versions, the word was just thrown out (and in "Plus/Super," the word was placed on the puzzle board and no one guessed). In this version, the top value in the front game is six points instead of ten and like the ABC version, they play until three times around the table or guessed.
