NOTE: In Round 13, only three consonants were present in the letters selection. The Countdown rulebook states there must be a minimum of four consonants per selection (a rule which was implemented in [[Series 30]]), therefore this selection should have been declared illegal. However, this surprisingly went unnoticed by production and therefore points scored in this round did count. This is the first round since the rule change to have such an occurrence.

This is the first round since the rule change to have such an occurrence.
