Even more cosmetic changes, most notably the fifth "Changing Keys" (now a big-band style; the puzzle-solve cue changes to match on October 4), the puzzle board gets a new "spiky" border, and Columbia-TriStar Television takes over production.

The $10,000 Wedge debuts on November 28, sporting a different font that changes to the regular one a week later. By October 18, the "decade" categories are no longer followed by bonus questions. November 7-18 are the Red White and Blue Sweepstakes, while the Red-Letter Puzzles appear to depart around February 8.

Probably the largest change is the replacement of Nancy Jones by Harry Friedman on June 14.

New Categories: Megaword on September 20, Next Line Please on December 9.

Retired Categories: The "old" Fill In the Blank (about November 4; became Next Line Please), Nickname (December 19, possibly), Megaword (around April 7), Slang (around June 19).

Road Shows: Fair Park in Dallas, Texas (October 31-November 4/November 21-25); Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida (February 6-March 3); USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in Newport News, Virginia (May 15-26).

Repeat Weeks: December 26-January 6, April 17-21.
