** During the 12th season (1994-1995), there was a new category called Megaword. Each puzzle was a 9- to 13-letter word that, after solving, the contestant could use in a sentence to earn a $500 bonus. Pat made it blatantly obvious from the get-go that he hated the category, and for good reason. Most Megawords were extremely uncommon words and/or had a lot of uncommon letters, leading to one incident where someone solved a fully-revealed puzzle of PRISTINELY incorrectly — and another where it took ''eleven'' spins before someone uncovered any of the letters in OXIDIZED, and eleven ''more'' before anyone revealed another. Worst of all, the sentences were not judged for proper use of the word; just about anything other than a deer-in-the-headlights stare was accepted (although one contestant did not get credit for this LoopholeAbuse sentence: "The contestants did not know what the word PROLIFREATION meant"). Needless to say, Megaword didn't make it too far into 1995.

** Sometimes the most inexplicable answer will rear its head in Final Jeopardy! A notorious one asking for a cheese named for a singing group (Liederkranz) is often considered the pinnacle of arcanely obscure Final Jeopardy! clues. [[note]]The objective of a good Final Jeopardy! clue is one that requires some thought, but also not arcane or obscure that no one, except for those who happen to know the answer, has a reasonable chance at providing even a reasonable guess. An example might be the category "Wrestling/{{WWE}} Wrestling" and a clue that deals with Wrestling/PedroMorales becoming the organization's first [[Wrestling/TripleCrownChampion "Triple Crown"]] winner (to win the World Heavyweight, Tag Team and Intercontinental titles). Almost no one (short of a professional wrestling fan and/or historian) would be able to answer a question, for instance, about whom he defeated (Ken Patera) to win the Intercontinental title, much less identify Morales as the first Triple Crown winner. But ask a question such as "On the December 1980 night Pedro Morales defeated bad guy Ken Patera at New York City's Madison Square Garden to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship, this event that made world headlines happened ... just a few blocks away." Again, many game show contestants may not have the faintest idea about professional wrestling, but the average contestant with a broad knowledge base could figure out that the correct response is "What is the death of Music/JohnLennon?". (Meaning, most people -- especially those involved with music -- know who John Lennon is, even those who were born years after his death, and that he is deceased, and a lot of people are aware that he died on a December night in 1980 in New York City.) The latter Final Jeopardy! clue still requires some thought -- i.e., "What might have happened in December 1980 in New York City that would make it world news?" -- but is still very answerable.[[/note]]

Another That One Level game on TPIR

** '''On The Nose''' was played from 1984 to 1985, and was a car game in which the player had to complete a sporting feat to win the car, with a set number of chances owing to how well the player priced the car (the furthest away from the price only got one chance with whatever implement was to be used to attempt the feat [darts, baseballs, footballs etc.], while getting the price right [one of the prices was the right price] gave the player four chances at it, and a $1000 bonus [the prices that were not exact awarded no bonus]). The implement being used in the particular sport was also revealed when Holly Hallstrom opened up the box by the chosen price (meaning that, say, if it were throwing a football through a hole, footballs would come out; if it were pitching a baseball, baseballs would come out). This game has been very much a LuckBasedMission, because sometimes, even if you had exact proper technique, the vagaries of how the goals were set up could still have you missing and losing (mitigated, however, if you got the right price, in which you got the maximum number of attempts and the $1000 bonus to fall back on).
