In accordance with Channel 4’s coming rearrangement of Countdown’s commercial break times, a new 15 round format was introduced for the show. The format replaced the previous 15 round format on 25 March 2013, a couple of weeks into the Series 68 preliminaries.
The new format is to consist of ten letters rounds, four numbers rounds and a conundrum. Unlike in the old 15 round format, both contestants pick equal numbers of letters and numbers rounds, arguably making the game fairer.
The celebrity anecdote has been moved to the middle of the second “half”, between Rounds 6 and 7; while Susie Dent's Origins of Words slot will be between Rounds 11 and 12.
