Production Notes
- The series was originally called Scrambled Squares. At some point between Episode #136 (June 20, 2005) and Episode #200 (January 22, 2007), the logo was redesigned to switch the "C" and "Q", becoming Sqrambled Scuares; the switched letters are, in their new positions, somewhat dislodged.
- The first Boone episode (September 2, 2002) had Jamie Vines playing against Andrew Puckett; Puckett won, 290-230.
- Host Buzz Berry has only missed one show – the February 20, 2006 episode (#168); Christopher Wilkinson filled in for him. Berry thanked Wilkinson, among many others, during the 400th episode in 2009.
- The first contestant to be brought back was Brandon Lewter; on his first appearance (June 27, 2005), he lost to Cindy Lilly by 70-440. He was brought back three weeks later on July 11 and won the game.
- The highest winning score was 960 by John Patterson on March 3, 2003. His opponent, Jenny Koehn, scored 580.
- The first tie game occurred on October 7, 2002: John Ballard and Olivia Church finished with 310 points.
- The Bonus Sqramble record is two seconds, set by Mike Wood on May 30, 2011 (#438).

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“Ceremony and ritual spring from our heart of hearts: those who govern us know it well, for they would sooner deny us bread than dare alter the observance of tradition.”
—F. Gonzalez-Crussi, Mexican professor of pathology, author. “On Embalming,” Notes of an Anatomist (1985)
