* WhoWritesThisCrap: Whenever he read a really silly or suggestive clue, Chuck had no reservations in chastising the writing staff. Writer Jan Heininger and producer Gary Johnson happened to be the most frequent targets of Chuck's derision.
** Viewer-submitted clues for the show's opening rare rarely received this response. One clue in particular from 1988--"a song you sing in your Chevy"[[note]][[IncrediblyLamePun CARTOON]][[/note]]--actually got groans from the audience.

** Sometimes, pivotal letters never shown up in a nearly completed word. While this often occurs during the Scrabble Sprint (see the Terry Ray example below under "Take That!"), this rarely happens during Crossword. One such example from 1993: "It means a lot to me", which is played out until the board reads â–¡ILLION. One contestant guesses "MILLION", whereas the other guesses "BILLION", neither of whcih is the proper solution. [[spoiler:The missing letter: J, which is never drawn.]]
