Line 66:
** On ''Plus'', late in the series' run, an accuring jackpot was added to the bonus round (then called "Alphabetics"), starting at $5,000 and increasing by $5,000 per playing until won.
** On ''Super'', the accruing bonus round jackpot was returned; the top value it reached was $55,000. In addition, a new mini-game called "Ca$hword" was added early in the run; a contestant who won the second puzzle was given a chance to guess a difficult password (using a maximum of three clues) for a cash bonus of $1,000 plus $1,000 for each show unclaimed. The top amount the "Ca$hword" reached was $17,000.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: On the original — [[Lucille Ball]] & Garry Morton (and in one instance joined by Lucy's kids), Jimmy & Gloria Stewart, Steve & Carol Lawrence, Jayne Meadows & Steve Allen, Jack & Joan Benny; On ''Plus'' John and Patty Duke Astin. And, of course ... Betty White & Allen Ludden.
* [[Replaced the Theme Tune]]: The ABC version changed its set and theme tune for the transition to ''Password All-Stars''. Robert Israel's synthesized theme was replaced by Bob Cobert's "Bicentennial Funk".
** In 1963, the first theme-- Kurt Rehfeld's ''Holiday Jaunt''--was replaced with a Bob Cobert composition many believe to be called "You Have The Password."
