History Series / Lingo

** 2021 (UK): No card, 90 seconds to guess up to three words, and can pass for a new word at any time. The first word is four letters and awards half of the team's maingame winnings, the second word is five letters and awards the full pot, while the last word is six letters and doubles the pot. In the 2023 series, teams that solve the five-letter word are offered a chance to risk their bank and play an AllOrNothing seven-letter word for a chance at £15,000.

* SuddenDeath:
** In the Woolery version, ties were broken with a seven-letter toss-up word, of which the first and last letters alternately appeared until the word was completely visible. The first player to buzz in with the correct answer would win their team the game.
** In the CBS revival, this would be a ten-letter word (in the style of the "Super Lingo" round, with similar mechanics).

* LovelyAssistant: Dusty Martell for Reagan's tenure as host, Margaux [=MacKenzie=] during the Andrews era. Halfway through Woolery's run Stacey Hayes became co-host, later replaced by Shandi Finnessey. As mentioned below, a second model named Paula Cobb assisted Stacey on two episodes of Season 3.

** The original and Dutch versions featured these. See BonusSpace for details.

** Once coming out of a break, Engvall referred to the show as "[[Series/{{Pyramid}} The All-New $100,000 Lingo]]"

** Season 3: How Stacey Hayes would introduce Chuck every opening.
** Season 4: How Chuck would introduce himself every opening.
** Season 4 onwards: After the second commercial break, Shandi Finnessey offered the "welcome back" along with one (mostly) about Chuck.

** The original versions had this in the OpeningNarration (see above). This style has also been used for the ITV revivals.

** Season 3: Stacey Hayes introduced Chuck with one every opening.

** Season 4 onwards: After the second commercial break, Shandi Finnessey offered the "welcome back" along with a gag (mostly) about Chuck before the beginning of round 2.

* DownerEnding:
** On an episode very close to the end of the original run (after Ralph Andrews became host), a team got the rare Double Lingo for $2,000 and a shot at $64,000. They blazed through the No Lingo round and reached the final draw for $64,000 with only one ball that would've caused a Lingo (and hence a loss)... and managed to draw that ball, N44. Even Ralph, who almost certainly knew of the show's financial issues at this point, seemed legitly distraught at this.
