Anthony 'Lehmo' Lehmann, Alex Lee and Reuben Kaye were the contestants, while Michael Hing reprised his role as the host.

The match saw Lehmo winning by 50 – 35 – 17 and he won an old "Transformers" lunch box from Hing's childhood bedroom.

NOTE 1: In this version, three players competing with each other instead of traditional two. Also, this version notably uses a scoring system whereby all players receive points for each valid word or solution, even if beaten by their opponents (equivalent to them receiving their "raw scores").

NOTE 2: In Numbers Rounds of this version, players receive points for their declarations, even if the solutions for players' declarations were not provided in the show, assuming they were cut out from broadcasting to speed up the show. Also, player can get points if their solution leads to the result which not matches with the declared result, but it's still in scoring margin.
