With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the plexiglass in Dictionary Corner was removed, although the celebrities were still socially distanced as a precaution. Several changes were made to the gameplay as well, one of which was that whoever was in the chair where the late Sean Lock used to sit and/or when Jon Richardson is absent would be called "Guest Team Captain" rather than "Acting Team Captain". Another change was that if the game ended in a Draw, no one would win the prize for that episode, in contrast to both teams sharing the prize in the past should it happen.
