Yes SIR!!! (Word win cue)  (Chuckling) That puzzle kept going back and forth, it was like pulling teeth! (Groans and chuckles from the audience). James, you have the option to take $1,000 guaranteed right now, or have us deposit $2,500 into the Jackpot Word for the Bonus Sprint. Which do you want? |

(cheering & applause) (I look to the audience). Sure, sure, it's not YOUR money! James, I admire your courage there. The 2nd word in the Bonus Sprint, a.k.a. the Jackpot Word, is now worth $10,000 today! Hopefully your investment in that will be returned to you at the end of the show. But not if Bryan has anything to say about it.  Bryan, since you're trailing still, we'll begin with you. Incidentally James, if you win this next word, you'll win a $500 clean sweep bonus, so something to perhaps keep in mind in case you get control of this six letter word. Bryan, building off of the letter S this time, six letters in the word as I just mentioned and the clue is... (outline noise)  They often take quite a beating. You can try to solve it now or select 2 tiles of the 8 numbered ones there. |

Here comes the V...  (Scrabbling sound) picosong.com/aRTG/ Well Bryan, now you hit that stopper. My thanks to Doug Morris for providing that sound effect for us. James this means of course you are back in control once again...  James, you can elect to solve it if you think you know it, or select two tiles. |

(ding) (ding)  No decision, let's place one of those O's...  (Scrabbling sound)  (ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding) Oh my James, another chance at a pink square bonus...  Can you solve it? If so it's bonus money for you and you'll win game 2 and tie up this match. If not, then we'll have to try to place that other O. |

Too bad. Let's try that other O then...  (Scrabbling sound)  (ding ding ding ding ding ding ding)  Second chance for a bonus James. Can you solve it? If not, you'll have to take two more tiles. Still two stoppers out. |

(buzz) Another good guess, especially after Hurricane Matthew I'm sure beat upon some of them in Florida unfortunately. Unfortunately too, not the correct answer. Control goes back to you Bryan. The bonus is out of play, however, if you know it, you can solve it now for $250, or if not, select two of the remaining four tiles.  |

(Word win cue)  BONGOS is what we were looking for that time. (SPEEDWORD SOUND EFFECT) That sound means we'll be playing SPEED WORD again...  After I show you the word and the clue players, I will ask you to send to me via private message how many additional letters you believe you will need to solve this word, be it zero, one, two, or three more. Additionally, please send to me a buzz code from 1 to 100 inclusive, in the event you both bid the same number of letters. This word is worth $300. James needs it to win the game and tie up the match. Bryan needs it to make a remarkable come from behind victory and win the match. Building off of the letter R this time, five letters in the word...  And the clue is... (outline sound effect)  It happens after a long march. Players, please p.m. to me at this time the number of added letters (0, 1, 2 or 3) you think you need to solve this word, as well as a buzzcode from 1-100 inclusive. |

(game & match win cue)   Bryan, a nice come from behind win for you, another $550 and in a moment you'll go to the Bonus Sprint for a possible $12,500. Well James, I gotta tell you, you played superbly, and although you had a few wrong guesses, every one of them were superb efforts to try to win bonuses and such. $450 this game, plus the $350 you won in game number one, $800 total for you James. Did you have a good time? I hope you did. |

Thank you very much, a nice round of applause for James Greek.
(cheering & applause from the NBC Burbank studio audience).
Bryan, $1,700 total for you so far.
He'll play the Bonus Sprint where two words could pay off $12,500. Find out if he can do it, after this!

(intro from commercial music)  Bryan Law is today's Crossword champion on Scrabble, and now he's earned the right to play our Bonus Sprint round. Bryan, the first word is always six letters long, and is worth $2,500. In order to play for the second word, you must get this first word correct. If you give an incorrect answer or an incorrect spelling of the word, then you are disqualified to go for the second word which is worth a $10,000 bonus today. (Cheers & applause).  In a moment, two letters will pop in under the letter countdown clock which is set at 6. You will select one letter, and the other will go back into the shuffle. All the letters are good, no stoppers in any of these words. The letters are determined by random.org. If you solve this first word you'll win $2,500 guaranteed, and with any left over letters, you'll play the second word for the $10,000. If after the first two letters pop in you think you can solve it with just the clue, you may do so, realizing you may run the risk of losing altogether. First word, six letters and the clue is...  It's one of the senses. Ready... Go!  |
