September 6 is Teen Week, with the 1989 'Changing Keys' used during the credits.Interestingly, this puzzle would also be used in the Sega CD adaption of the show. This is certainly the shortest puzzle ever used on the show and the only known two letter puzzle to be used also. On another episode sometime this season (known to have been rerun in July 1995), AX is a bonus puzzle.On an episode sometime this season, the Surprise is a $10,000+ travel trailer.It is rumored that on an episode sometime this season, a contestant fails to solve a fully-revealed bonus puzzle due to being unable to properly pronounce it.This is the final season produced by Merv Griffin Enterprises.For this season only, the 1989 'Changing Keys' is used on road shows as the opening and closing themes, and the 1992 version continues to be used as a bumper.Charlie's opening narration is slightly changed to begin with 'From Hollywood, it's America's Game! A show the whole family can enjoy!' The rest is the same as it was on September 21, 1992.The higher-level shot of the set introduced in early 1993 is also retained.

Except for the removal of the '10th Anniversary' graphic and the addition of a closed-captioning bug, the opening animation is unchanged from last season.
