I have new words and new clues to challenge our current champion Steve, with over $68,000 in just two shows!
He will need a challenger.
I still have a lot of behind the scenes work to complete, but am hoping to begin this next episode before the weekend.
Best,
Bill

Terribly sorry for the long delay players.
I am still working on some visuals and am wanting to go a slightly more traditional format.
The Jackpot Tiles game while fun, just feels kind of out of place to me, and the Bonus Sprint should be the "grand finale".
So I am going to bring back the regular sprint game again too, to determine the day's winner.
The winner of the first crossword will get to select from a pink or blue packet, leaving the remaining packet for the second crossword winner to play.
Both will contain three words, and both packets will be the same number of letters for each word (5, 6, 7) or (6, 8, 9) for example.
The "clock" will simply count up 1 for every letter that has to be placed. Numbered tiles will be chosen from rather than having two letters shown.
An incorrect solve will add 10 to the "clock". Fastest time will win a cash award. I'm currently working on what that amount will be.
The second crossword game will feature the loser from the first crossword game plus a new player. If the new player loses the second crossword game, they will get to come back to play the first crossword game for the following episode.
More to come, and thank you all for your patience.

Sixty-eight thousand three-hundred dollars! (Wild cheers & applause)... He'll try to make it again to the Bonus Sprint for a chance at thousands of dollars more, today on Scrabble! (opening theme)  Frank Caliendo (as Charlie Tuna): A six letter word, the clue is... He can be rather stern with his audience...   (Audience): HOWARD!

Frank Caliendo (as Charlie Tuna): And here's your host, Bill McDee!  That's me! Good morning everybody and welcome to the television version of everybody's favorite crossword game. And this has been our current champion's favorite game by far, boy oh boy is he ever doing sensational!

(NBC Canned OOOHs) We'll explain more about that later on, right now, let's meet our reigning champion and today's first challenger, Frank?  Today's first challenger is David B. And our returning champion, with winnings totaling $68,300, Steve Anderson! (cheering & applause)  Steve, welcome back, how does it feel to own part of the network? (Chuckling)...

Well I'm still a Food Service Manager for a major convenience store chain in New England...(though who knows for how much longer the way things are going lol) In my off time I do party decor and go to My Little Pony Conventions. There's one I'm going to at the end of the month in New Jersey that promises to be a lot of fun

You don't say? I'm originally from New Jersey. I wasn't aware that they had conventions for "My Little Pony". Sounds like a most unique experience. Good luck with your employment future Steve and also good luck again here today with Scrabble. So far you've had a lot of it, but also very skilled at solving word puzzles which is what we're all about.
Your new challenger goes by the name David B. David, what else would you like to share with us about yourself?

My paternal grandfather was from Virginia. Very beautiful state. I had a chance to visit Williamsburg back in 2013. Imagine how disappointed I was when they told me it wasn't name after me! David, best of luck to you here playing Scrabble! We will play until someone gets three words right, then that player will go on to the Scrabble Sprint to establish a time to be beaten by the winner of the next crossword. If you lose one crossword game, you get to come back to play another, but if you lose two consecutive crossword games, then it's off to the land of parting gifts. We have some new features, one of which is a Player's Bank. Each of you will bank money, but only the winner of the crossword game will get to keep that banked money, and that will include pink and blue bonus square money as well.  Also, every word will now be worth money to be added to your player's bank. Six envelopes here, two worth $150, one each worth $200, $250, $300 and $450. The challenger gets to select the first envelope and gets to play first as well. David, please select either blue or pink, and also select top, middle or bottom to reveal the value of our first word today. |

 $300 will be deposited in someone's bank. Building off of the letter A... Our first word has 9 letters...  And the clue is... (outline)  Many people hope to become this at the start of the new year. If you know it, or think you might, you can solve it now, otherwise, I'll ask you to select two of those eleven numbered tiles David. The remaining letters in the word are represented by those tiles, but beware, for there are three letters that do not belong in the word. Those are stoppers. If you select one to place in the word, you'll lose your turn. Okay David, have at it and good luck! |
