The half-hour original series is anticipated to premiere in fall 2021.<\/p>\n<p>From the producing team behind &#8220;<em>Who Wants to Be a Millionaire<\/em>,&#8221; TUG OF WORDS is a fast-paced game where two teams compete to answer word clue questions correctly and pull the flag on the &#8220;tug of war rope&#8221; to their side. In round one, each answer involves changing a single letter in the word that appears on the board. For example, with &#8216;TUG&#8217; on the board, the answer to the clue &#8216;a label inside a garment&#8217; is &#8216;TAG,&#8217; and with &#8216;TAG&#8217; then on the board, the answer to the clue &#8216;hopefully the upstairs neighbors aren&#8217;t learning this dance&#8217; is &#8216;TAP.&#8217; With each round, an additional letter is added creating four and five-letter words to solve. The team with the flag on their side after three rounds wins the game, qualifying them for the bonus round where they have the opportunity to compete for $10,000.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3441826949\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Emmy(R) award-winning television personality Ahmad Rashad is perhaps known just as much for his engaging commentary and interviews with some of the best-known figures in sports as he is for his football career.
