[edit] Citation on rules

The rules are found at their web site and I watched the game and people should know the rules as they play along. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.93.56 (talk • contribs) 2007-09-11T16:38:43

I also think the host does the rules OVER and OVER and OVER again.... how many times has the show gone on? I think we know what the rules are... Treadway needs to knock it off! 216.68.41.230 20:59, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crossword Getaway

While most shows have two Crossword Getaways, there have been a handful with only one, so I noted as "at least one of the first two rounds", instead of "each". --Lightning2 04:06, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

I noticed this the other day, but I think in that first round there were three words in a row that weren't answered, usually about the time the getaway would have popped up. Maybe that's why it wasn't awarded. Just a thought. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 08:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

That makes more sense. The Crossword Extra apparently is awarded no matter what, but not the Crossword Getaway. I just saw a show with no Crossword Getaways awarded. --Lightning2 03:09, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Renewed for 2008-09?

The article has stated that according to an article in B&C magazine, Crosswords has been renewed for next season. However, I was informed by a contestant coordinator from the show the same day that that issue came out that they were still hoping on being picked up for another season, so I don't think that that statement is necessarily accurate (even though I'd love it to be true!) However, I know that's original research on my part, but I think it should be omitted until the news has been released elsewhere (I haven't seen this anywhere else, and I have looked.) nlyons162 (talk) 21:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bonus round

Okay. There aren't any reliable sources out there that have all these specific rules for the bonus round. Until we can get reliable sources to verify that those facts are true, I think that the only thing we can do is go off the official website, which has very few details.
