*buzz-buzz*  That's incorrect, Doug. You lose $400 for that...  Sam, do you have a guess? |

*bling*  That's the one. Here's another $400 for you...  I kind of see what went wrong, Doug. You had only one Ford in your mind at the time and it happened to be the wrong one. Don't fret, though, we still have lots more to play in this round. Here is the next word:  *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* Four letters, $100: " 'Men' or 'Maids' from the sea." BUZZ: 83 1st: Sam (96) 2nd: Matt (43) 3rd: Doug (23) Sam? |

*bling*  Correct again! You are on fire, Sam...  Up past $2,000. What do you say we look at the next word?  *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* Eight letters, $600: " Dictator and 'Lord Protector' of England." BUZZ: 7 1st: Sam (25) 2nd: Doug (33) 3rd: Matt (88) And it's Sam? |

*bling*  You're three for three so far, Sam! Another $600 for you...  In great shape as we take a look at the next word.  *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* Five letters, $400: " To authorize legally." BUZZ: 91 1st: Sam (42) 2nd: Doug (23) 3rd: Matt (5) How about it, Sam? |

The word was ENACT; E-N-A-C-T. No harm, no foul on that one. We'll just move to our next word:  *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* Eight letters, $600: " Patton and Schwarzkopf." BUZZ: 97 1st: Matt (43) 2nd: Sam (12) 3rd: Doug (5) And it's Matt this time. |

*bling*  Those were the kind of people we're looking for! Matt, another $600 for you...  And there's some good news with that. You've discovered...  The first of our Crossword Extras! Now, you trail Sam by $1,050 so you can make this game really interesting with a good wager. Matt, how much of your $1,650 will you bet? |

For an even $3,000, Matt...  *psh* *psh* *psh* Three letters, the clue is... " Precedes 'order'." |

*buzz-buzz*  Sorry, Matt. I kind of saw where you are going with that but you lose $1,350...  Back down into a tie for second place. The answer was LAW, as in "law and order". Let's try to rebuild some of that bank, Matt.  *psh* *psh* *psh* Three letters, $200: " 'Kid Vs. ___.'" BUZZ: 65 1st: Doug (72) 2nd: Matt (57) 3rd: Sam (85) Doug this time. |

*bling*  Right you are! That will add another $200 to your score...  Still got a ways to go before you can catch up to our leader. Here's the next word:  *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* Five letters, $400: " From bad to '_____'." BUZZ: 95 1st: Sam (Exacta!) 2nd: Doug (98) 3rd: Matt (52) Sam? |

*bling*  Very nice! You got some of it back...  Up to $900 and you've also discovered...  The last Crossword Getaway of this game. However, you're going to have to make a move if you have any hope of winning the trip you currently have along with this one coming up. We'll add a trip to Boston if you can solve this clue:  *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* Six letters, Matt. Here is the clue: " Some belly buttons may be this." |

*buzz-buzz*  Sorry, Matt. No Boston trip for you. The spelling wouldn't have mattered because we were going for OUTTIE on that. Let's move onto our next word...  *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* *psh* Five letters, $400: " Beauty chose him." BUZZ: 68 Sam: 41 Doug: 17 Matt: 5 And it's Sam. |
