Well, that’s a much better start than what the contestant tried:

Wild

WTF?

I thought at the time he should have given SNAFU as a clue,but that was a bitch of a word.

I loved Password Plus and Super Password. I don’t like this format.

The first part is too much like $100,000 Pyramid. I liked the old shows where both people were trying to guess the same word simultaneously. I also liked how the old shows had a bonus round that was just that… one bonus round. This game pretty much features the bonus round and drags it out via “Millionaire” style prize levels.

So, I think the new game is too much like “Pyramid-meets-Millionare” and not enough like “Password.” Meh.
