| Host: Dustin Dumovich Announcer: Jim Williams Gametime: Weekly, between 8-10 p.m. (ET) Gameplay: "It's the crossword game you" watched from 1984-1990 on NBC, but never played like this! The game is very faithful to Reg Grundy's 80s classic. Four contestants compete per show. Gameplay in the front game is a best of 5 affair, where the first person to correctly guess 3 words by picking tiles wins the game and the right to go to the sprint round. In lieu of time, the bonus sprint is measured in the number of letters you need to identify 4 words of different lengths. The first front game winner sets the mark that the second front game winner must tie or beat. Whoever fares better int he sprint goes onto the bonus sprint where they must identify a 6 letter word and an 8 letter word by using no more than 6 tiles. If you do that, you'll win a jackpot that starts at $10,000. For every loss in the bonus sprint, the jackpot increases by $5,000. Interesting notes in YIM Scrabble: YIM Scrabble will soon be celebrating its 40th show! Dustin Dumovich is also one of the people who had a hand in the FlashGames version of the Scrabble Sprint Challenge available at flashgameshows.com. Jim Williams holds the mark for the highest regulation play Scrabble Sprint Jackpot win of $45,000. |
