Here's something to you never to do on game shows. Password all versions • Accidentally say the word • Two word clues • Using initials Wasn't using a form of the word an illegal clue? Like "grilling" as a clue for "grill"? I also recall it being mentioned here somewhere that the rising inflection tone for opposites was not allowed for a time on Password Plus. I never liked that initials were illegal as clues, but were used as passwords. That just seemed off to me. |

Opposites weren't allowed for clues on Password PLus starting in May 1979(Urich-Braverman week) I'm glad this didn't become a universal rule used in all revivals of Password thereafter. By far the easiest clue for most passwords are antonyms, and without them it's almost impossible to get your partner to guess the password in a short amount of clues/time. |

Several Pyramid episodes miss understood the categories like "What a Teacher Says" and "What a Dentist Says", but the keyword is "Uses".

If, besides going over their 25 word limit, a contestant says part of the answer or the answer in the bonus round on 25 Words or Less, the round ends immediately.

In Tom Kennedy's episode of "Password Plus" there's a guy says "France" as a clue for "French". Also saying "JFK" for "Initials" as the school bell rings for pre-G-T show "Child's Play". |
