The format replaced the [[15 round format (old)|previous 15 round format]] on [[Episode 5666|25 March 2013]], a couple of weeks into the [[Series 68]] preliminaries.
 The new format consists of ten letters rounds, four numbers rounds and a conundrum. Each contestant picks five letters rounds and two numbers rounds, arguably making games fairer than those in the "original" 15 round format, in which the challenger (C2) got an extra, often crucial numbers pick. It is similar to the [[14 round format]] used in grand finals between [[Series 2]] and [[Series 45]], with the exception that the first conundrum has been removed and two additional letters rounds have been inserted before the final [[numbers game]].
