Oh my goodness. The clues in the crossword rounds this episode, I have no idea what they were thinking here. I don't blame Chuck for calling them out on this.
I know right? The ones that got me questioning the writers are the following: Crossword Round #1: Clues 2 and 3. Crossword Round #2: the entire round of clues.
Just watched it, and it took me quite a while to see it, about as long as the first contestant. Just something about how the word is spelled, and what letters came out of the shuffle. The clue wasn't blatantly obvious; it could have been multiple things, so you have to play the shuffle.
@@wschmrdr You do have to play the shuffle--and it shocks me how often players don't do this. The "no stoppers...all the letters are good" thing means that the last letter in the word is the last letter the player passed on. Why don't people remember this?
@@TeamPaul17 It's a lot easier sitting at home because you're not calling out the letters, which can be a distraction. I remember one contestant from 1987 who would let the time run for a second or so, but would hit the plunger with a correct answer and only one or two letters. Also take a look at the game board itself, and where things are in your view when you're a contestant.
I can actually picture every Scrabble writer AND the producer getting letters for their weird clues after this taping...LOL

Innuendo was off the charts

"That was great, Gary! No kidding!" LOL
Judging the audience's reaction to the second clue and the solution in the first crossword round, they did NOT like that one.
Was the 4th Scrabble Sprint word THAT tough? Player #1 struggled greatly and Player #2 practically zoned out while playing it.
