Were any Special Categories used, and if so, were they different then the Martindale/Caldwell version?

From the one episode of TTD 90 I have, it featured the special categories "Jump-in What?" and "3 to Win." 3 to Win was on Martindale's if I remember correctly, but I don't believe Jump-in What? was...

Actually, the Martindale version used the "Jump-in Category." "Three to Win" I believe was only used on the Caldwell version. I don't remember "Three to Win" being used on the 90 version of TTD.

"Jump-in Category" appeared on Wink's version. The '90 version specified "Jump-in Who?", "Jump-in Where?", etc.

They used some of the same special categories as the latter years of the 1978-86 run. Only two were on the board in each game of the 1990 version. The Seesaw category IIRC was played slightly different, as if all the answers to the question were given, the one who guessed the last right answer won the box. During the Wink years, another question would be asked when that happened.
