That look that Chuck gives the writers to start off crossword two. LOL!

That Bonus Sprint was tricky.

19:24 didn't look like a double/non-existant call to me and may have affected the outcome of the game

[@philipalt9560]

Good point. She got robbed on that final word. She did not double pick on that first one, but she did double pick later on. In the end, she hit the buzzer about 2 or 3 tenths of a second too late, so she probably would have had it if she hadn’t been robbed a couple seconds on that first “double pick” that was not a double pick.

5:36: Honestly, that was not a bad guess.

[@philipalt9560]

It seemed like a good guess, but keep in mind that the clue was “They can run for hours”, which means it was plural, meaning there was probably an “S” at the end of the word and “telephone” doesn’t have an S.

11:45: LOL

Hang on a sec.... First word is misspelled, there's an E at the end of it.

[@catnapped_]

That was my thought as well. HUH?!?

[@richardhernandez4490]

Yeah I noticed this too.

[@thechadmosher]

You guys. Merriam-Webster is your friend. Every time someone has claimed a word is misspelled, there's always been a variant in the dictionary.

@@thechadmosher Noted. Thanks Chad. And Merry Christmas.

They obviously picked the unusual spelling to add difficulty, unless they thought that was the usual spelling. Drillers was strange, most people say drills (unless they mean people who use drills?)
