Building on the letter "F", five letters...

---

• December 25, 1984: The show's first Christmas episode had this exchange.

Chuck Woolery: Did you get what you wanted for Christmas? Contestant: Uh, no, considering I'm Jewish. Chuck (after several seconds of laughter): Well, what did you get for Hanukkah? Contestant: Nothing yet, it's not that time of the year yet, Chuck.

• 1985: For a brief period, the rules were amended so that the contestants had to spell the words instead of saying them, with each letter adding to a pot which the contestant won for spelling the word correctly. It was removed following a game where it took more than seven turns for two contestants to spell "mosquitos" correctly.

Chuck: I'm going home, I don't know about you!

• The start of a game presented ___O____ with the clue "Guys with short ones often have problems." The audience, obviously inventing their own jokes, started laughing. The laughter got even louder as the contestant drew tiles and the letters "S" and "M" popped up.
• "Dolly Parton has a big one." And the board reveals ____TIT_.
• A female contestant is faced with a choice between "P" and "P". Her response? "I think I'll take a 'P'"
• During one episode, Chuck said "We're going to recrap the scores."
• 1993: During a Speedword with the clue "An underworld boss", one contestant rang in and said "devil", which was wrong (the answer was "demon"). His parting gift? A Dirt Devil vacuum. Even Charlie Tuna couldn't help laughing when he announced that.
