Trying the "A" (razzle)  That worked. Now you can either try to place that "F" or you can try to solve the word Immanuel. Which do you want to do, place the F or solve the word? |

(razzle)  (bonus bells) for a $500 bonus plus $500 for the word, and the lead in this match Immanuel, can you solve it? |

That's got it 1, 2, 3. (Game win cue) Time for more of Bill's bills, hold out your hand... 1... 2... 3... 4... 5 HUNDRED more bonus bucks, plus $500 for solving the word itself.  $850 for the game, $1,000 in bonus square money, $1,850 already. Whoever said talk is cheap? This means also we'll add $850 to $500, so as it stands right now, the Scrabble Sprint game today is worth $1,350, but that will go up. George, we have to get you some money! We're going to try to do just that. First we need to break away for a commercial, so go pour some syrup and butter up your waffles. Second game of our Crossword round after this! |

(return from commercial music) Okay we're back and ready for game 2 of this crossword match. Immanuel Tims has won $1,850 already. George Cluster, no money as yet, but we're going to try to change that right now. George you need this game to tie up the match and force a sudden death Speedword tie-breaker word. And let's go to the board with you first George. We're building off of the letter "A", 9 letters in this first word and the clue is...  It's where Santa sometimes drops in. This word is worth $200, two chances for a $500 blue square bonus as well. George, you can either try to guess this word right now, or you can select a pair of tiles. What's your pleasure? |

(buzzer) No, but I have to say George, another superb try and guess!  This may get back over to you, we'll see. Meantime Immanuel you are in control of the word. Do you want to select one numbered tile to bring yourself up to speed, or do you want to try to solve this word? |

And... (razzle)  Oh no! That "S" was a stopper Immanuel. But you never can tell, it may get back to you. George, you know the answer is not GREENLAND and you know now there's no S in the word, so a bit of information for you to go on. You can try to solve the word again, or you can select one numbered tile to bring yourself up to speed. |

(word win cue)  That's right for 1 word and $200. But I want to point out a couple of things first...  For one, and this is only me of course, but had I been playing, I would have drawn 2 more tiles, as there was still 2 chances at a $500 bonus, and only one stopper left, so that would have been a very safe play there. Second, whenever a letter appears more than once in a word, they will always be filled in from left to right, which is why that first "E" Immanuel chose did NOT fall into that last spot with the blue square. Just wanted to clarify that just in case. We go back to the board with you George. Building off of the letter A again, 8 letters in this word and the clue is...  It's a real playground. You can take two tiles if you wish or try to solve it George. |
