The first team to score two points won the game and advanced to the Clue Screen bonus round. If the score was tied after two puzzles, a sudden-death tiebreaker was played using one final word, with the contestants again in control of giving clues and blacking out. The team that had correctly guessed more words during the first two rounds (or the winner of a backstage coin toss if there was a tie) chose to either play the word or pass to the opponents. The contestant giving clues had 10 seconds to describe the word for his/her partner, and the opposing contestant had three seconds of blackout time, with the same repetition penalty as in the first two rounds. A correct guess won the game, while a miss gave the win to the opposing team.
