Scrabble (game show) off their case" for "detective"). Viewers could win a "Scrabble" T-shirt by submitting a word and clue and having them selected for use in the show's opening title sequence. The first round of every game was the Crossword round, in which two contestants competed to guess words as they were laid out on a computer-generated Scrabble board. Originally, two new contestants played each Crossword, with the winner advancing to the Scrabble Sprint to face the reigning champion (see below). On September 29, 1986, as part of a broader format change, episodes were re-structured to include two Crosswords. The first Crossword
Words and Music (Canadian game show) as it was guessed. All of the crossword puzzle words served as clues to the mystery subject. The first contestant to identify the subject won the game. "Words and Music" aired Monday-Friday from 3:00-3:30 PM over the CTV network and was host Jim Perry's second television game show. Perry called "Words and Music" "a very static show" and that it was probably too complex of a game for most viewers to follow. The show was cancelled after only one season. Perry then moved over to host his first American game show "It's Your Move" which aired in syndication during 1967.
