A Word or 2 (1998-2008) was a televised game show in South Africa, and surprisingly only the second English-language version of the show so far. It was adapted from Des chiffres et des lettres in the same way that Countdown was in 1982. The host was Jeremy Mansfield.
Format
The main host also puts up the letters in this version. As with the numbers game in the UK, contestants can choose letters from a particular place in addition to choosing vowels or consonents. Numbers though, are simply chosen from two piles - large and small. Interestingly the numbers expert is also a man on this version. As with the UK version there is also a lexicographer and a guest.
