* NoBudget: The show that made it to air compared to what was shown in the pilot. Examples:
** In the pilot, word values are $50-$150 in the first round, $100-300 in the second, and $150-$450 in the third. The finalized version's scoring is halved in each of the first two rounds, and reduced by one-third ($100-300) in Round 3.
** In the pilot episode, both players got to keep their front game winnings. In the series proper, only the winning player kept the cash--and when a second-place contestant finishes with a score of a mere $75 and leaves with bupkis, you know the show's purse strings are ''tight''.
