Bummer, that L showed up a bit too soon for the bonus. (Scrabbling sound)  (ding) First position in the word. That may be a big help. James, you can either try to solve it for $150 right now, or select two more tiles if you don't know it. |

All,
Due to some difficulties with my machine at home, I will be off the grid later today.
I'm taking it to Geek Squad to get looked at tomorrow at 3pm, but I will be disconnecting it this afternoon when I get home so it will be ready to go tomorrow.
I'll try to update the threads where I am hosting once more when I get home, if my machine cooperates. I'll try to update things on other threads where I am a contestant either from my work computer or from my son's or my wife's computer when home.
If I am a bit slower than usual to reply to a thread, this is why.
Best,
Bill

Hi gang,
Just a quick status update.
I am on my son's laptop. My tower is with Geek Squad. They said I should get it back by Friday, September 30th. So until then, or sooner depending on when they are able to fix it, I will be on a temporary hosting hiatus, since all of my visuals and question material are on that machine. However, I will be able to continue as a contestant, once a day, possibly twice a day during the week, since I can also access this site from work.
Thank you all for your patience, loyalty and friendship throughout these many years, some dating back to July 2007 when I joined Big Jon's site.
Bill

(Happy to report my computer is back home, up and functioning well thus far...) James selected tiles 2 and 4... (ding) (ding)  A T and a W to work with this time James, which letter do you want to try? (Since James had a post in the vacation thread due to moving, and also given how long it's been since I've been able to post images while hosting, I won't impose a deadline. If after 72 hours there isn't a reply, I will check the vacation thread and also do a courtesy bump if necessary...) |

(Word win cue)  Very well solved and well played James. You knew that T was a stopper...  Score is now $250 for James, nothing yet for you Bryan, but we go back to the board with you... Building off of the letter N this time, it's a seven letter word and the clue is...  (outline sound)  People can never be closed-mouthed when they are around him. Bryan, you can try to guess it right now, or if you're unsure, you may select two of those nine numbered tiles. |

Too early, so I will take the 3 and the 5.

Here comes the P.  (Scrabbling sound)  Oh no! Bryan that was a stopper! Time to sound that old refrain, this may work out to your advantage. Let's see...  James, it's back to you. You can either solve it, or select one tile. |

Let's try that E...  (Scrabbling sound)  (DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING)  James if you can solve it right now, it will mean either $500 for you instantly, or we'll add $1,000 to the Jackpot Word in the Bonus Sprint. Do you know it James? |

(Buzz) No, but that was a very clever guess James. Good try. Bryan, control goes back to you...  Bryan, you can try to solve it now, but no bonus available anymore, or you can select one tile to bring you up to speed. |

That was a good guess though. I'll take number 2.

Let's try it...  (Scrabbling sound effect)  No. That was the second stopper. James, it comes back to you again.  Only one stopper left in the mix James. You can try to solve it or take a tile. Pink bonus square still available. |
