-'''''Cifras y Letras''''' was a Spanish game show developed from ''[[Des chiffres et des lettres]]'' in the same way as ''[[Countdown]]''. It was broadcast between 1991 and 2013. During the 1990s, it was shown on the channel {{w|La 2 (Spanish TV channel)|La 2}} on {{w|Televisión Española}} and was presented by Elisenda Roca, in which time a main focus of the show was a much more relaxed atmosphere, with the music used on the show being set to a controversial theme. The other [[presenter]]s were Paco Lodeiro, Goyo González and Paola Bontempi. Since 2002, most of the program consisted of computer generated components on screen. It also held a variation broadcast in Latin American (Mexico), and also the Galician version: "''Cifras e Letras''". On 15 January 2024, the show returned to La 2 with its third iteration (hosted by Aitor Albizua) which strongly resembles the current french version.

-The players attempted to solve a numbers game with the exact same format as ''Countdown'', but they had 45 seconds to do so instead of the 30 seconds available on ''Countdown''. This was just as on the original French version. Also unlike ''Countdown'', contestants received just eight points for a correct numbers game in the La 2 version, or nine points in all other versions. If neither contestant achieved the exact target, the closest was awarded six points (provided their solution was correct). The "Professores" of numbers were: Paz Morillo, Inmaculada Llorens, Irene Mora, Gema Ramos, Paz de Alarcón, Sheila Izquierdo, Paola Bontempi, Yaiza Guimaré and Jorge Mira. The current "Professor" is David Calle from "Unicoos" YouTube channel.

-Selections were generated by each [[contestant]] alternately selecting either a vowel or a consonant. Words which they declare must have been in the ''Diccionario de la Real Academia Española'' (or ''Diccionario Xerais'' in the Galician version). Like the French version, conjugated verb forms were not allowed but participles (present, past and infinitive) were allowed. Unlike both ''Countdown'' and ''DCeDL'', plurals were not allowed. From May 2008, feminine forms became invalid, but this rule didn't apply to the Galician version. As in ''Countdown'', contestants received one point per letter in a valid longest word, and a score of 18 points was awarded for a nine-letter word (in ''Cifras y Letras'', the set flashed if the word was correct). The "Professores" of letters were: Octavio Iglesias, Antonio Elegido, Yolanda Castaño and María Canosa.

-Just as DCeDL, Cifras y Letras features a duel where the players are shown two words jumbled together, and have to buzz in with the correct pair of unscrambled words to earn 10 points. However, if a contestant buzzes in and gets the answer to the duel wrong, their opponent receives 10 points. Therefore the maximum possible score is 190. Words are along a set theme. (For example: References to Rosalia de Castro)
+Just like the "''Duel traditionnel''" ("traditional duel") in ''DCeDL'', ''Cifras y Letras'' featured a duel where the players were shown two words jumbled together along with a clue, and had to buzz in with the correct pair of unscrambled words within 30 seconds to earn 10 points. However, if a contestant buzzed in and got the answer wrong, their opponent received 10 points. For example, {{word|TOLCAOIDC}} with the clue "Dos frutos de las palmas" ("Two fruits of the palms"). The solution is {{word|DATIL}} (date) and {{word|COCO}} (coconut).
