00:01Are you feeling wordy? Our three players are, and tonight they're engaging in a war of words
00:07for their chance to win $10,000. What time is it, Craig? It's time for Scrabble!
00:24Welcome to Scrabble, I'm Craig Ferguson. Let's meet tonight's players, starting with our
00:29returning champion. I'm Mark, and I'm a copy editor from Philadelphia. I'm Ajene, I'm an
00:34assistant preschool teacher from East Orange, New Jersey. I'm Daniel, I'm a financial compliance
00:39analyst from New York City. Welcome to the show, everybody. I can't wait to see you all in action
00:45in our supersized Scrabble board. Look at the size of that thing. Isn't that amazing? It's amazing,
00:50isn't it? You look at that thing, it's like the first time you ever saw something amazing like a,
00:55a cat. All right, the three of you are going to battle it out in three rounds of word games.
01:01The player with the most points moves on to the final round for a chance to win $10,000.
01:08The key to being a strong Scrabble player, of course, is the ability to look at random letters
01:12and turn them into words. I'm going to present you with racks of scrambled letters and clues.
01:18Your job is to find the words that match those clues. The first two players to get four correct
01:24will move on to the next round. Ready to play? Yeah. Yeah, good. And good luck,
01:29because Mark is our returning. How much have you won already? $29,000 something. $29,150 you've won.
01:37You can't even keep track of it. All right, good luck. Are you ready to take him on for this?
01:42I'm ready. Okay, you ready, Daniel? I'll do what I can. All right, let's play Scrabble.
01:49All right, here comes the first word. Always through the center square on the first word.
01:54There it is up there. The clue word is solidarity. Here are your scrambled letters.
02:03Daniel.
02:04Unity. Unity.
02:07Of course, unity is up there. That's the word we're looking for. Well done, Daniel. You're off and running.
02:12Daniel, where are you from? New York? New York City. In Health Kitchen.
02:15I live in New York City. I thought you looked familiar.
02:18Yeah, I think I've seen you on the subway.
02:21All right.
02:22The next word through the U in unity.
02:25The clue word is press.
02:27Here are your scrambled letters.
02:31Daniel.
02:32Button.
02:33Look at you, Daniel. The pride of Hell's Kitchen. Yes. Button. Daniel has two.
02:39Anthony, where are you from?
02:40I'm from East Orange, New Jersey.
02:42East Orange, New Jersey. That's near West Orange, New Jersey, isn't it?
02:47Not too far.
02:47Yeah, okay.
02:49All right.
02:49The next word through the T in Button.
02:53The clue word is tomato.
02:56Here are your scrambled letters.
03:00Mark.
03:01Ketchup.
03:01Ketchup is the word we are looking for.
03:04Tomato ketchup.
03:06The next word is up to the Y in unity.
03:12The clue word is empire.
03:15And here are your scrambled letters.
03:19Mark.
03:20Dynasty.
03:21Dynasty is the word we're looking for.
03:23Mark gets two points.
03:25Our returning champion.
03:26Mark has two.
03:26Daniel has two.
03:27Daniel has two.
03:27Daniel has two.
03:27Ashinae yet to score.
03:28But everything to play for.
03:30Here comes the next word.
03:31Through the A in Dynasty.
03:34The clue is drench.
03:37Here are your scrambled letters.
03:41Mark.
03:42Soaked.
03:42If you're soaked, if you're dredged.
03:45Well done, Mark.
03:47Mark now is at three, which means if he gets the next one, he's going through to the next
03:51round.
03:51As our returning champion, he's done that a few times before.
03:55All right.
03:55Our next word lands on the S in soaked.
03:59Down from the top, clue is flight.
04:04Here are your scrambled letters.
04:07There you go, Ashinae.
04:08What do you got?
04:09Wings.
04:10Wings.
04:11You're taking off, Ashinae.
04:13You're taking off.
04:14All right.
04:15Mark has three.
04:16Daniel has two.
04:16Ashinae has one.
04:18Here is the next word.
04:20The next word ends on the W of wings.
04:23Right along the top there.
04:24The clue is mortgage.
04:27Here are your scrambled letters.
04:31Mark for the win.
04:32Escrow.
04:34Escrow is the word we were looking for.
04:37Mark, you are through to the next round.
04:39The remaining players, Ashinae and Daniel, you're going to battle it out to see who's
04:44going through to the next round.
04:45So with you, Ashinae and Daniel, I think clear this board.
04:48Let's get rid of that and we'll start a new board for you.
04:51Okay.
04:52First word through the center.
04:55The clue is reputation.
04:59Here are your scrambled letters.
05:03Daniel.
05:05Legacy.
05:05Your legacy is your reputation.
05:10Daniel has three.
05:11Ashinae has one.
05:12Now, you know the situation.
05:14If Daniel wins here, he goes through to the next round.
05:16Ashinae, to stay in the game, you've got to get this next one.
05:18Here comes the next word.
05:20Ends on the L of legacy.
05:24The clue is T.
05:26Here are your scrambled letters.
05:31Ashinae.
05:32Herbal.
05:33Herbal T is the one for me.
05:37Ashinae.
05:38Daniel has three.
05:39Ashinae has two.
05:41Daniel, if you get this, you're going to the next round.
05:43Ashinae, you're catching up, but you need two to get to the next round.
05:46The next word.
05:48From the C in legacy.
05:51The clue is dessert.
05:54Here are your scrambled letters.
05:59Ashinae.
06:02Oh, Ashinae, you let it go.
06:04If you know it, Daniel, buzz in and say the answer.
06:06Daniel.
06:07Cupcake.
06:08It is there.
06:10Cupcake.
06:12Daniel, that's four correct words.
06:14You'll be moving on to join Mark in the next round, or as I call him, Cupcake.
06:18You're that much closer to winning $10,000.
06:21Ashinae, thanks for joining.
06:23But the buzz around is brutal.
06:24I hope you had fun.
06:25Yeah.
06:26When we come back, Mark and Daniel will continue to compete for $10,000.
06:32Right here on Scrabble.
06:33Join us after this.
06:48Welcome back to Scrabble, everyone.
06:50I'm here with Mark and Daniel.
06:52And it's time for these two players to continue their word battle to see who will be moving
06:57on for a chance to win $10,000.
07:00You guys doing okay?
07:01Yeah.
07:02All right.
07:03In this next round, our players will be presented with six racks of letters.
07:07There they are.
07:08Now, the goal is to place the best words on the board.
07:12You'll earn the Scrabble point value for each of the three words that you make.
07:16Remember, this is a game of both vocabulary and strategy.
07:20Don't forget to take advantage of the bonus squares.
07:23That's where the money is.
07:24Everybody ready?
07:25You guys ready to go?
07:25Yeah.
07:26Okay.
07:26Oh, yeah.
07:27Let's play Scrabble.
07:29Woo!
07:31All right, Mark.
07:32You were the first to unscrabble four words in round one.
07:34Would you like to go first or second?
07:35I'm going to go first.
07:36Going to go first.
07:37All right.
07:37To help you decide which rack to play, I'm going to flip over the highest valued tile on
07:42each rack.
07:42Let's see what we got there.
07:44There, there.
07:44Ooh, the dreaded J on one.
07:46That's good.
07:47Q.
07:48Very good.
07:48All right.
07:49Mark, does it help you make your decision?
07:51Yeah, I'm going to try to max out my points.
07:53I'm going to choose rack two with a Z.
07:56Rack two with a Z.
07:57Let's see what you have.
07:59G, L, E, Z, T, A, A.
08:04Okay.
08:05All right.
08:05First thing I see is glaze.
08:07Okay.
08:08Or perhaps zag or gaze or zeta.
08:13I'm not sure if I can hit the double letter with the Z, which is why I'm going to play
08:19glaze with the G on the double letter.
08:24Glaze.
08:24There it is with G on the double letter.
08:27And it is, of course, a double word score because it's the first word on the board, which
08:31means you have scored 34 points there, Mark.
08:35Great start.
08:36Daniel, you've got it all to do.
08:37Which rack would you like to play?
08:38I like my odds with the S, so I'll do rack six with the S.
08:45That gives you the letters N, O, S, O, R, A, U.
08:51With the letters that are already there, I can do Z, A as a connector.
08:58Not too many words with all those vowels, but I will play ran going under glaze with the
09:06R under the A.
09:09Ran under glaze.
09:11Double letter on the A.
09:13You also play the words R, za, and N.
09:17Very good.
09:18I see you're a stacker.
09:19That's a good strategy, that stacking.
09:21It gives you a total of 20 points.
09:23Good start there, Daniel.
09:24Good start.
09:25Mark, it's your turn.
09:26What rack would you like to play?
09:28I am going to try my luck with rack three with B.
09:35That gives you the letters E, T, T, O, B, M, I.
09:40All right, I'm seeing tomb, which could go under R, bet, or bite.
09:48And I'm going to play tomb, hooking the B to make arb.
09:55The tomb going across gives you the tripping letter on the B, also the word arc.
09:59Good score.
10:0025 points to you, Mark.
10:02Takes you up to 59.
10:04All right, Daniel.
10:06Bringing your A game.
10:07What rack would you like to play?
10:08I wouldn't mind an H, so I'll do rack five with the H.
10:12Rack five with the H.
10:13Here it comes.
10:14I, F, D, N, H, A, E.
10:20There's something in there, surely.
10:22I see hide, which could go under the tomb.
10:29Hand could go down and make it glazed.
10:34Yeah, hide looks good.
10:35I'm playing hide under tomb with the I from hide under the T.
10:44Very nice.
10:45Double word on the E of hide.
10:47Double word on the E of me.
10:49Decreases the word T, odd, and me.
10:53It's a good score.
10:55It's 29 points you put on there.
10:58Takes you up to 49 points, Daniel.
11:00Very good.
11:01Daniel at 49.
11:02Mark at 59.
11:03This is your final rack, Mark.
11:05Daniel, you will still have one turn to play after this.
11:08So, Mark, you'll have to do well here.
11:11What you got?
11:11I'm terrified of a Q without a U.
11:13I'm not going to take that chance.
11:15So I'm going to go with rack one with a J.
11:17Rack one with a J.
11:19Here are your letters.
11:20O, B, J, I, T, I, H.
11:24You like that?
11:26I could have used an E, perhaps, but I'm seeing job and jot.
11:31So I might be playing that somewhere.
11:34I wish I had a letter to go after glaze.
11:36J's, nothing to that G.
11:39No, I, N, G.
11:42I'm going to try jot underneath hide.
11:46All right.
11:47Jot, very good, with double letter on the J.
11:49That's a good one.
11:50Also, the word hole and the word tit, like a bird.
11:53Okay.
11:54That gets you 26 points there, Mark.
11:56Takes you up to 85 points.
11:59Very good.
12:01But I have to say, Daniel's about to play.
12:03He's got 49 points.
12:05He needs 37 points to get past you, Mark.
12:08How do you feel, Daniel?
12:09You think you can do this?
12:10I feel like I need some really good letters.
12:12Let's see what you've been given.
12:23Could be helpful to put the S after glaze.
12:27That would make glazes.
12:28And then I could do maybe quakes going down with the Q on the double letter.
12:38If my math in my head works right, I'm doing juke going down to the triple word on the left.
12:48Very good.
12:49Triple word on the E of juke.
12:52You needed 37 points to play for $10,000 and unseat a champion with a tremendous run.
12:58The word juke got you 45 points, Daniel.
13:01You are going through the next round for a chance to win $10,000.
13:06Congratulations to you.
13:07Mark, thank you for playing an amazing run.
13:10You've done so well.
13:11You're going home with $29,150.
13:14When we come back, we'll see if Daniel can find the right words to bring home $10,000 right here
13:19on Scrabble.
13:34Welcome back to Scrabble, everyone.
13:37I am here with Daniel.
13:38The last Scrabbler standing is about to play for $10,000.
13:42I have to say, Daniel, congratulations.
13:45Congratulations, because mark the reigning challenge.
13:47I didn't think anyone was going to beat that guy.
13:49What's the word you think did it for you?
13:51It was juke, wasn't it?
13:52Juke.
13:52Yeah, juke with that K and the triple word.
13:55All right.
13:56Well, let's see if your strong word play can continue.
14:00In this final round, you will have seven chances to play seven words.
14:04You'll earn the Scrabble point value for each word.
14:08And if your seven words total up to 200 points, you will win $10,000.
14:14Now, if you don't make it to 200 points, you won't go home empty-handed.
14:18You'll be still earning $25 for each point.
14:22Every word counts, because every word makes you money.
14:25You ready to play?
14:26Yeah.
14:27Your game starts now.
14:32Time to play your first word.
14:34Here are your letters.
14:36Good luck.
14:38O-S-V-E-H-R-I.
14:44Pretty good letters.
14:45Yeah.
14:45I love the S and the vowels and the R.
14:49I see I could do hover or shiver.
14:52I'm not seeing a seven-letter word.
14:54I'm going to play hover, going through the central square,
14:58starting with the H on the double letter.
15:03Hover right there with the H on the double letter,
15:06and it's a double word score.
15:07Gives you a total of 30 points.
15:09Excellent start, Daniel.
15:11Excellent.
15:11You have six words remaining.
15:14Here are your letters.
15:17S-I-F-O-T-M-O.
15:23Not seeing a bingo right away.
15:26I like the S.
15:28Oh, I can make a fist.
15:32It's a good plan, keeping the S.
15:34Always a good plan.
15:35Yeah, I know.
15:35Good.
15:37But I'm playing Fitz the S on top of the H,
15:41opening up the triple word score.
15:43Fitz going across there, a nice piece of stacking.
15:46You get the double letter on the T.
15:49You also create the word shh.
15:51Very good.
15:5213 points, but you've opened up the triple word.
15:54Takes you to 43 points, Daniel.
15:56Very good.
15:58Very good.
15:59But you've opened up the side of the board.
16:00Presumably that's your strategy, right?
16:02Open up that side of the board.
16:03There you go.
16:04All right.
16:05Let's see what you're being thrown now.
16:08Who knows?
16:09O-M-O-P-X-A-L.
16:15Love an X when I can put it somewhere.
16:18Yep.
16:18I see right off the bat that I could put the X on top of the I
16:23and do O-X going across.
16:25So the X, the triple word, triple letter, I mean,
16:28would go both ways.
16:30That's pretty nice.
16:32The triple word under the F.
16:35I don't know how, if that would be as helpful.
16:39I could do flax going down.
16:41I'm going to play ox on top of fits with the X on the triple letter score.
16:48You get the X on the triple letter.
16:51You also create of the, an ox, gives you an amazing score of 55 points.
16:59Two letters and 55 points.
17:02Come on.
17:03That's some good work.
17:04Takes you up to 98 points on your third word.
17:08Very good.
17:08You have four words remaining.
17:10All right.
17:11Let's see what we've got.
17:12We've got M-O-P-A-L.
17:14What else are you going to get?
17:14An F and an E.
17:17Off, of course, standing right there.
17:19Awful, O-F-F-A-L is a word.
17:22Mm-hmm.
17:23Also, I could, on top of hover, I could try to stack something.
17:28I'm probably going to stick with that.
17:30Off or awful.
17:31I'm going to play awful going down along the triple word score.
17:36Get the triple word on that F right there.
17:40That's what you're going for.
17:41It's a great score.
17:4133 points on that one as well.
17:44It takes you from 98 to 131 points.
17:48Awful, of course, is the guts of an animal or how you make haggis.
17:53You make haggis by using the awful of an animal.
17:55And I have to say, haggis, it tastes pretty awful.
17:59All right.
18:00It doesn't.
18:01It's lovely.
18:01I look forward to your letters from Scotland.
18:03We are tired of your nonsense, Ferguson.
18:06All right.
18:07Three words remaining.
18:09You need to get 69 points over the next three words to get to that $10,000.
18:13Feeling good about that?
18:15Good chance.
18:16Yeah.
18:16You've got good letters on the board.
18:18I don't know what you're going to get next.
18:19Nobody does.
18:20But let's see.
18:21A, M, O, P, E. Another E. A K. That's good.
18:25And an N.
18:27The first thing that pops out is, I think there's a T called Pico, which would be P-E-K
18:32-O-E,
18:33which I could stack on top of hover.
18:35The P and the K would hit double letter scores.
18:38And that would also open up the triple word on the right.
18:41Definitely don't see any bingos with those seven letters.
18:43I'm going to play Pico on top of hover with the P on the double letter score over E.
18:52Pico.
18:52Very nice.
18:54You get a double letter on the P.
18:56You get a double letter on the K for Pico.
18:58You also create P and R.
19:00It's a nice big score.
19:0228 points for that, Daniel.
19:04Very good.
19:0528 points.
19:06Takes you up to 159 points.
19:0941 points to go.
19:10You have two words left.
19:12We're getting close.
19:14All right.
19:15Let's see what letters you get.
19:16You've only got an M and an N there.
19:17So five new letters.
19:18I-E-R-L-A.
19:23I see mineral.
19:25I just don't know where I can put that.
19:27That is interesting.
19:31Okay.
19:32I see one place where I can put it.
19:34I'm going to play mineral going down next to awful with the M next to the A.
19:42Mineral with a triple letter on the I, a double word on the A.
19:47It's also a bingo.
19:49It's a huge score.
19:50You needed 41 points.
19:53That word mineral got you 80 points.
19:55Congratulations, Daniel.
19:56You just won $10,000 in six words.
20:00Unbelievable.
20:01All right.
20:02Let's see how much more you can win by getting you into another game right now.
20:06Let's bring on our new opponents.
20:08Come on, you lot.
20:13Hello, new players.
20:14Go ahead and introduce yourselves, please.
20:17I'm Juliana.
20:18I'm the founder of Black Crossword, and I live in New York City.
20:21I'm Garrett.
20:22I'm a waiter from Great Barrington, Massachusetts.
20:24Welcome to Scrabble.
20:26We just saw Daniel win $10,000.
20:28He's quite the player.
20:29Are you feeling confident?
20:30I think I got a shot.
20:32I think I have a shot.
20:33You got a little bit of New York about you.
20:34You're like, yeah, but he's from New York, too.
20:37He's from, yeah.
20:38Now, where are you from, Garrett?
20:39I'm from Western Massachusetts.
20:41What part of Western Massachusetts?
20:42I'm from Great Barrington.
20:43That's my favorite Barrington.
20:44Oh, yeah.
20:45It's great.
20:45Yeah, it is.
20:46It's great, Great Barrington.
20:47All right.
20:48We'll kick things off with our new players when we return right here on Scrabble.
21:05Welcome back to Scrabble, everyone.
21:07It's a very intense game we're about to play.
21:09We have two New Yorkers playing Western Massachusetts.
21:12It's kind of like the Yankees versus the other one that you guys have got up in Boston.
21:19The Red Sox.
21:20Yeah, it's the one, yeah.
21:21Yes, of course.
21:22Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you all in action on our super-sized Scrabble board.
21:27Look at that.
21:27Wow, look at that.
21:29Now, the three of you are going to battle it out in three rounds of word games.
21:33The player with the most points moves on to our final round with a chance to win $10,000.
21:40So, as you know, the key to being a strong Scrabble player is the ability to look at random letters
21:45and turn them into words.
21:46I'm going to present you with racks of scrambled letters and clues.
21:50Your job is to find the words that match those clues.
21:54The first two players to get four correct will move on to the next round.
21:58Are you ready to play, everyone?
22:00Yeah.
22:00Yeah.
22:00All right.
22:01Let's play Scrabble.
22:05All right.
22:06Here comes the first word, always through the center square, of course.
22:10There it is.
22:11The clue is cartoon.
22:14Here are your scrambled letters.
22:19Daniel.
22:20Doodle.
22:22The word we were looking for.
22:24Champ gets us going.
22:26All right.
22:27Here comes the next word.
22:28From the first O in doodle all the way down there like that, the clue is attire.
22:34Here are your scrambled letters.
22:38Daniel again.
22:39Outfit.
22:40Outfit.
22:41Is your attire, is your outfit.
22:45All right.
22:46Juliana and Garrett, you guys feeling okay?
22:48Feeling pretty good.
22:49All right.
22:49You understand how the buzzer works?
22:51I think so.
22:52All right.
22:52Here comes the next word.
22:55Through the I in outfit.
22:57The clue is archery.
23:00Here are your scrambled letters.
23:05Garret.

23:07It's quiver.
23:09Well done, Garret.
23:11Garret gets his score going.
23:12Daniel on two.
23:14Garret on one.
23:15Juliana yet to score, but it's early days.
23:17Let's all look at the next word.
23:19Through the R in quiver.
23:21The clue is scholarship.
23:24Here are your scrambled letters.
23:30Juliana.
23:31Grant.
23:33Your grant is your scholarship.
23:35Juliana, good job.
23:37Juliana has one.
23:38Garret has one.
23:39Daniel has two.
23:40Here comes the next word.
23:42Down through the E of doodle.
23:45The clue is fitness.
23:48Here are your scrambled letters.
23:54Garret.
23:57Oh, Garret, you missed it.
23:59All right.
24:00Buzz in.
24:00Daniel or Juliana, if you know.
24:04Nobody got it.
24:05Nobody got it.
24:07The word is...
24:10Pilates.
24:11Yes.
24:12All right.
24:13Here comes the next word.
24:15Through the L in Pilates.
24:17The clue is mineral.
24:20Here are your scrambled letters.
24:24Daniel.
24:25Calcium.
24:26Oh, I can feel it in my bones.
24:28It's calcium.
24:30Yes, it is.
24:31Good job.
24:33Daniel has three.
24:34Juliana has one.
24:35Garret has one.
24:36Daniel, now, if you get the next point, you're moving through the next round.
24:39All right.
24:40Where is the next word?
24:42Down from the M in calcium.
24:44The clue is amend.
24:47Here are your scrambled letters.
24:51Daniel for the win.
24:52Modify.
24:55Congratulations, Daniel.
24:56You are the first to identify four scrambled words.
24:58You've made it to the next round.
24:59You can set the rest of this one out.
25:01Juliana and Garret, it's between you two to see who's going through to the next round.
25:05Let's clear off this board and we'll start a new board.
25:08All right.
25:09The first word goes through the center, as it always does on a new board.
25:13The clue is steam.
25:15Steam.
25:16Here are your scrambled letters.
25:22Garret.
25:23Sauna.
25:24Sauna.
25:25Yes, it is.
25:28Garret has two.
25:29Juliana has one.
25:31The next word is through the S of sauna.
25:34The clue is floral.
25:37Here are your scrambled letters.
25:43Garret.
25:45Jasmine.
25:50Garret has three.
25:51Juliana has one.
25:52So, you know the situation we're in here, Juliana and Garret.
25:54I sure do.
25:55All right.
25:56Juliana, you need this one to stay in the game.
25:58Garret, if you get this, you're moving on to the next round.
26:01All right.
26:01Here's the next word.
26:02Good luck to you both.
26:04A cross to the M of jasmine.
26:07The clue is advise.
26:10Here are your scrambled letters.
26:16Juliana.
26:16I will inform you that you've taken a point.
26:23Juliana has two points.
26:24Garret has three points.
26:26Here is the next word.
26:28Down from the F in inform, the clue is concentrate.
26:34Here are your scrambled letters.
26:38Juliana.
26:39Focused.
26:40Stay focused and you'll get that point.
26:43Now, Juliana has three.
26:46Garret has three.
26:47This is it.
26:48This is the tiebreaker.
26:49This is the decider.
26:50Garret, bring your A game.
26:51Juliana, bring your A game.
26:52Good luck to you both.
26:54The next word on the board is across the D in focus.
26:59Down at the bottom there, the clue is thickness.
27:03Here are your scrambled letters.
27:06Garret.
27:08Width.
27:08That's about the size of it, I think.
27:11It's width.
27:12Garret, you've taken four points.
27:14You're going through to the next round.
27:15Congratulations.
27:16You're going to join Daniel.
27:17You're that much closer to winning $10,000.
27:20Juliana, I'm sorry.
27:21It was very close.
27:22Thanks for joining us.
27:22I hope you had at least a little fun.
27:24I did.
27:24I had a lot of fun.
27:25It was quick, but there you go.
27:27And when we come back, Daniel and Garret will compete with each other.
27:31on their way to the big money.
27:33We'll be right here when you come back, right here on Scrabble.
27:36Come on back.
27:53Welcome back to Scrabble, everyone.
27:55I'm here with New York Daniel and Western Massachusetts Garret.
27:59And it's time for these two players to continue their word battle to see who will be moving
28:03on for a chance to win $10,000.
28:07Feeling good?
28:09It's like the Sox versus the Yankees.
28:12Is that what we're saying here, Garret?
28:13Bill?
28:13Yeah.
28:14A little bit, except it's with words.
28:16All right.
28:17In this next round, you will be presented with six racks of letters.
28:21There they are.
28:22All right.
28:23The goal is to place the best words on the board.
28:26You'll earn the Scrabble point value for each of the three words that you make.
28:30Remember, this is a game of both vocabulary and strategy.
28:35Don't forget to take advantage of the bonus squares.
28:38You guys ready?
28:39Yes.
28:40All right.
28:41Let's play Scrabble.
28:45That was great there, wasn't it?
28:46When I said, let's play Scrabble, and then there was a little bit of music.
28:49That's why people watch this show.
28:50All right, Daniel.
28:51You were the first to unscramble four words in round one.
28:54Would you like to go first or second?
28:55This time, I'd like to try to go first.
28:57You go first.
28:58All right.
28:58To help you decide which rack to play, I'm going to flip over the highest valued tile on
29:03each rack.
29:05Let's have a look.
29:05Okay, there's the dreaded J up there.
29:08You got an X, though, and stuff.
29:09What do you think, Daniel?
29:10Which rack would you like to start with?
29:12I would like to start with the A.
29:16Rack one, letter A.
29:18L-O-T-N-A-E-U.
29:22Okay.
29:23I don't see a bingo right away.
29:27Lent, leant, the past tense of lean.
29:30I'm playing leant.
29:31I'm not sure if that's pronounced the right way, but that's the word.
29:35Starting with the L on the double letter.
29:36Okay.
29:37Let's have a look at that on the board.
29:41Lent up there.
29:42Double letter on the L.
29:44Double word, because it is the first word on the board.
29:46Gives you a score of 12.
29:48You're off to 12.
29:49Well done, Daniel.
29:50All right, Garrett.
29:51We're up next.
29:52Which rack would you like to play?
29:55I think I'd like to use rack five with the H.
29:58Rack five with the H.
30:00H-R-A-I-E-O-A-H.
30:06Okay.
30:08Feel good about that?
30:10See anything in there you like?
30:15I'd like to play air hole through the L in Lent.
30:21Air hole through the L in Lent.
30:24The I goes through the double word.
30:27Gives you a score of 20 points on your first word.
30:3120 points to Garrett.
30:3212 to Daniel.
30:33Daniel, it's your second word.
30:34Which would you like to play?
30:37Um, I'm feeling good with the F.
30:39So I'll do rack six with the F.
30:43Rack six with the F.
30:44F-O-A-E-P-I-D.
30:49Um, I like that the F-E is a word.
30:54Going down, I don't know what I can do though with that F-O-P I can do.
31:02Um, yeah, I'm going to do F-O-P going down with the F next to the E of air
31:09hole.
31:11You played the word F-O-P with the F on a double letter, also creating the word F-E
31:16-E.
31:17Giving you 21 points.
31:19Let's take you up to 33 points.
31:20Nice job, Daniel.
31:22All right, Garrett, you have 20 points.
31:24It's your turn.
31:25Which rack would you like to play?
31:27Um, I'd like to take rack four with the K.
31:30Rack four with a K.
31:33Okay, here we go.
31:34U-K-E-U again.
31:37O-S-W.
31:39Got the S in there.
31:41You got it like that.
31:42I'm thinking about playing a walk next to the O in F-O-P, except that's not very friendly
31:51to plays that he could make back.
31:52Yeah, a little defense going on there.
31:55I think I'm just going to play O-K with the K next to the A in air hole.
32:02Look at that O-K on the double word for O-K.
32:06Also the K on the double word for Ka.
32:08Gives you a score of 24 points.
32:11Takes you up to 44 points.
32:13Daniel has 33.
32:14This is your final rack, Daniel.
32:16He still has to play.
32:17You're going to have to score high here.
32:18Oh, yeah.
32:19All right.
32:19Which rack are you going to select?
32:21I think my chances are better with an X, so I'll do rack three.
32:25Yeah, your chances are always better with an X.
32:27Here you are.
32:28I-X-I-M-T-L-A.
32:32Okay.
32:33Not a lot going on here.
32:37With the P, I could do A-X going down.
32:41Racks going across.
32:43Yeah, I was going to do axial, but there's only one A, so I'm doing axial instead, going
32:47down next to the P.
32:51Axel, you also got the word Pa, gives you a double word on the X, gives you a score of
32:5726 points, a total of 59 points for you there, Daniel.
33:03Garrett, you need 16 points to pass Daniel and make it to the final round.
33:07Here is your last rack of letters.
33:10They are J, G, O, N, S, I, and T.
33:16Feeling good about that?
33:18I would just like to play Joe next to the O in FOP.
33:25You got a triple letter on the J.
33:28You needed 16 points to move on and beat Daniel and play for $10,000.
33:33The word Joe got you 25 points.
33:37You're moving on to the next round, Garrett.
33:38Congratulations.
33:39Woo-hoo!
33:40Daniel, thank you for playing.
33:41You were a great champ, but Garrett took the day.
33:44You walk away with...
33:45$10,000.
33:46$10,000.
33:47So, you get that.
33:49When we come back, we'll see if Garrett can do the same thing and leave here with $10,000.
33:54Right here on Scrabble.
33:55We'll be right back, everybody.
34:11Welcome back to Scrabble.
34:13I am here with Garrett, our last Scrabbler standing, who's about to play for $10,000.
34:19Well played, Garrett.
34:20Well played.
34:21You beat out Daniel.
34:22He was a great player.
34:23He won $10,000 before you got here, and now you beat him.
34:27What are you proudest of?
34:28How do you think you managed to do it?
34:31Honestly, I think playing the word air hole on my first turn really opened up the board.
34:36Yeah.
34:36I was a bit worried when you said air hole as well.
34:39It's a good word and perfectly legitimate and not a rude word.
34:42Sounds like a rude word, air hole, but it's not.
34:44So, if you at home are sitting there thinking air hole's a rude word, that's more about you.
34:49All right.
34:50Let's see if your strong wordplay can continue.
34:52In this final round, you will have seven chances to play seven words.
34:58You'll earn the Scrabble point value for each word, and if your seven words total up to 200 points, you
35:04will win $10,000.
35:06You have any ideas what you're going to do with that money yet?
35:09You started spending it in your head?
35:11Oh, no.
35:11I just recently bought a new car, so I think it would go a long way with that.
35:15Congratulations.
35:16You may have got a wide-body kit on it or something.
35:17Yeah, maybe.
35:18Well, all right.
35:18I know how the young people like to roll.
35:20Okay.
35:21If you don't make it to 200, don't worry.
35:23You won't go home empty-handed.
35:24You will be earning $25 for each Scrabble point you earn.
35:29So, every word counts.
35:30You ready to play?
35:31I'm ready to play.
35:32All right, Garrett, your game starts now.
35:38All right.
35:39Time to play your first word.
35:40Here are your letters.
35:42Good luck.
35:44A-P-T-O-R-S-A.
35:51Seen anything good in there yet?
35:52What do you think?
35:53Not really.
35:54It's kind of run-of-the-mill, isn't it?
35:56I'd like to get rid of one of my A's so I don't hold two of them.
36:02But I realize that if I play the word port, I can then extend it to make sport on my
36:07next turn.
36:08And so, maybe two A's isn't that bad.
36:11So, I'm going to play port next to the double-letter tile on the left.
36:17You got it.
36:18Let's have a look at that on the board.
36:20Port.
36:21Double word, of course, because it's the first word up there.
36:23It gets you a score of 12 points on your first word.
36:26But I see what you're doing.
36:27I see what you're doing.
36:28Got to build that because you've got the S and you're hanging on to the S.
36:31You have six words remaining.
36:33Let's see what letters get thrown at you now.
36:36A-S-A-T-R-Q-N.
36:42I was hoping not to draw that Q.
36:44I don't know if it's worth just getting rid of it right now for not that many points.
36:50However, I could undouble my A's and keep pretty good bingo tiles.
36:56So, I'm actually just going to play cat through the T in port.
37:04Cat, get rid of the dreaded Q.
37:06Cat, of course, when it's spelt with a Q, means stimulant.
37:11Stimulant.
37:11You know what I'm talking about?
37:12A little bit of cat on a Friday night?
37:14Yes.
37:15All right.
37:17Cat, down to the T in port.
37:19Gets you 12 points.
37:20Takes you up to a total of 24.
37:22But you got the Q, Kelly.
37:23Okay.
37:24Let's see what you get next.
37:26S-A-T-R-N.
37:28Another A and another N.
37:31Okay.
37:33Now, I just realized that if port was over one space to the right, I could have transport.
37:39But that's not going to work.
37:41So, instead, I'm going to play trans, making sport from the double word score.
37:51Trans, down to port, creating trans and sport.
37:55Gives you the double word on the T of trans.
37:58Gives you the double letter on the S of sport.
38:01Gives you a total of 20 points for that word.
38:03Takes you up to 44 points, Garrett.
38:06That's much better.
38:08Let's see what we got for the letters of your fourth word.
38:12Let's see what they are.
38:13R-A-N-S-O-B-D-F.
38:20You got an S, though, right?
38:21I do have another S.
38:22I don't see any bingos here.
38:25I could try to take advantage of the double letter score right there in the middle of the board.
38:31I'm going to try to make my way over to a triple and hope to get lucky on my next
38:35turn.
38:36I'm going to play font to the T in trans.
38:41Gives you a double letter on the S.
38:43Gives you a score of 11 points.
38:45Takes you up to 55 points.
38:48But now you're in the high scoring area.
38:50You have three words remaining.
38:52See what your next letters land as.
38:55An E.
38:56A Y.
38:58And an E.
38:59I don't like the Y very much.
39:01Unless I can try to put it somewhere.
39:04Maybe on a triple letter score.
39:09I'm going to play dry, making da with the A in cat.
39:16Dry gives you a double letter on the D.
39:19Gives you a double letter on the Y.
39:20You also create the word da.
39:22Gives you a score of 18 points.
39:24Takes you up to 73 points.
39:27All right.
39:28Good job.
39:29You have two words remaining.
39:31You need to make 127 points over the next two words.
39:34You're going to have to score high now.
39:36Let's see what your letters are.
39:38You got R and an N.
39:43Now my first thought here is it would be nice to just score 100-something points in one turn.
39:48Yes, it would.
39:48Through the F in font to triple, triple.
39:50But I don't know if I have that.
39:53I don't see anything.
39:54I'm going to play beef to the F in font.
39:59Beef with a triple word on the B.
40:02It's a decent score.
40:0427 points for beef.
40:06Gives you up to 100 points.
40:08Now that's really good.
40:10But you have one word left.
40:12And you have to score 100 points.
40:14So you're still about to wave up 200 points.
40:16But you've been earning $25 for every Scrabble point.
40:19Let's see.
40:20What are your next letters?
40:21They are A, I, and J.
40:28You seeing anything?
40:29I'm not seeing anything at all.
40:31I kind of closed myself off a little bit.
40:33But I was hoping to get a little better draw than that.
40:35I've done that in relationships, Garrett.
40:37Don't worry.
40:38I'm going to play gin next to cat, making Dan and Chee.
40:44Gin with a double letter on the N.
40:48You create the words Key and Dan.
40:51Gives you a score of 27.
40:53Takes you up to 127 points, which is great.
40:56That earns you $3,175 at $25 a point.
