All shows from Season 26 onward are listed in the compendium.

This list covers all missing or partially incomplete shows from Seasons 6 onward. Notes are provided where possible, if no notes are listed, then the date (or range of dates) are completely missing from the compendium. Please note this list DOES include partially completed shows, which are listed below, because we'd still like to hope we can fill it out! If you have access to these shows, we'd love to hear from you! Use the About Us section to find out how to contact us. For shows prior to Season 6, we have a slightly different list due to the wild variety of missing information. You can view that list in the Appendix.

SEASONS 24-25 ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS

The original sources for much of Seasons 21-25 only listed the puzzles and not the categories. The decision was made to add these puzzles into the compendium with a little guesswork. We have managed to fix and correct much of this era thanks to recaps and videos that have been unearthed over the years, but there are still some shows we are seeking out to make sure the information is correct. If anybody has information from these shows, please reach out to us if you can, it would be much appreciated.
