Hypertouch is a variant that extends the rules of Touchdown to larger selections.
Letters round: Selections contain 12 letters and any letter can be substituted for another. So, for example, with the selection GSTXIEAOKDVL the longest word would be DESOLATING (swapping the X for an N). Players do not have to make explicit which letter they are substituting.
Numbers round: The selection contains 8 numbers, including up to 6 large numbers drawn from 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200. The target is between 1000 and 9999. The same number can be drawn multiple times.
Conundrum: One letter in the conundrum must be substituted with another before solving the anagram, and the answer is 12 letters long. For example, if the conundrum was CLODHOPPERFD, the answer would be CHILDPROOFED because a P from CLODHOPPERFD can be substituted with an I. The solution to these "Touchundrums" is guaranteed to be unique, so there's only one letter that can be substituted to give a solution.
