The Scrabble Challenge

Two players race to answer questions and make words in this variation of the classic board game, unrelated to the previous format and the future Scrabble Showdown.

Rules
Before the show, the players selected seven tiles at random, these are worth the regular Scrabble values. After seeing the tiles for the first time, the first player to buzz in and find a word then has :10 to place it on the board using the touchscreen monitor in front of them. If the opponent feels that the word is invalid, they can challenge it. Standard scoring applies, meaning the first word is a double word score; all other double/triple letter/word spaces are in play as well.
 * Blank tile, can be used for any letter.
 * 1 Point - A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T and U.
 * 2 Points - D and G.
 * 3 Points - B, C, M and P.
 * 4 Points - F, H, V, W and Y.
 * 5 Points - K.
 * 8 Points - J and X.
 * 10 Points - Q and Z.

After the word is placed, the players could earn more tiles by answering questions in one of seven categories. Two are worth a tile, three are worth 2 tiles, and two are worth 3 tiles, with difficulty increasing as such. Seven tiles are needed to play the board. The first to get the right answer can play the board (if they have seven tiles) or they can exchange for letters take from the answer of the question. A new category replaces the used one, and if the category has a star behind it, it's worth tiles and a bonus, such as a correct answer increasing a player's tile count to the full seven.

Each point earned is worth money, $25 in Round 1, $50 for Round 2, and $100 in Round 3. The person with the most money wins, the loser wins a selection of Hasbro games. Also, using all seven tiles at any point in the game wins a trip.

Bonus Round
The winner, prior to the show, selected 30 tiles to use in the endgame. Starting at the center, the goal is to build a chain of words in order to reach a randomly selected corner of the board. Doing so doubles the money. If seven letters are used in one turn, the player doubles the money and wins a car.
