Ah, memories of sitting in the living room on a hot summer vacation day as I watched this! Windows open - the sound of traffic coming in - and fan going because running the central AC didn't seem necessary!

This is nothing alike to the classic board game and I'm a Scrabble aficionado. However, I find this is a very original way of adapting it to a game show. I'm sorry that I haven't lived at the time this show existed. I agree with those who want it back in our days. Furthermore I want to play, It's very entertaining!

okayyy, how the hell did Steve NOT get his 2nd clue in the 2nd sprint round from the CLUE alone? (that one was pretty easy, (especially since I have to assume that he was paying attention to and remembering the unchosen letters that were appearing in the little monitor.) although I have seen episodes with words whose clues made them complete and total giveaways. (one of them was a front game word with 5 letters. they were building on the letter O, the clue: A real deal maker." the answer: Monty.

Back then you had a limited amount of time to give an answer. Once that time expired, you got that double buzz and could no longer answer, forcing you to either use the other letter or take two more tiles. Eventually they did away with that buzz.

Seeing this sort of debunks a misconception for me... I'd always assumed that the change to 5-time champions winning a grand total of $20,000 (as opposed to $28,000) came at the same time as the change to both players in the Sprint playing the same three words. Now I'm a bit curious as to when the payouts were altered... ?

@@slapshot68 This is the original "straddle" format of the show that didn't have that round. The major differences: champion never played crossword again (only sprint), and crossword games never ran out of time, they would just move on to the next show. In this version, they have 2 sets of words, but later they played the same words (champion went in isolation). The version with 4 players (including champ playing crossword again and bonus sprint at the end) didn't start until a tournament a year or two later from this show.

If this episode has the spelling rule -- that is, the three words in each round the players try to guess must be spelled out -- then this would date from the spring of 1985. If so, Michael would have had to spell out "B-R-U-I-S-E-S" and then say the word.
