This is correct sir.

A selection of number and letter rounds.
You already know how the numbers work…
As for the letters: The contestant picks letters randomly from 2 pots - Vowels and Consonants.
Then, the contestant who constructs the longest word from said letters, gets the points.
The word has to be a valid word in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Then at the end, the infamous “Countdown Conundrum”
Basically an anagram against the clock (9 letters) - this sometimes forms a climactic tie-breaker.

A good nerdy show :o)

The people on the show are really amazing. I am gathering that the tv show has more than just numbers game. Is that correct?
