Sqrambled Scuares (sic; originally known as Scrambled Squares) is a game show airing on HTC Digital Cable in South Carolina.
An official Blip page contained the current Myrtle Beach shows, along with most of the former Boone and Hickory versions, which remained until the site was shut down in August 2015.
All letters placed in this way are covered with a transparent yellow card, whether by spending points or finding a "Placer" (below).
Players can also ask to unscramble the squares before picking or placing a letter; this is generally not done if there are no more Missers on the board, although it has happened on occasion.
If the player gave the correct answer, they won a $25 Wal-Mart gift card and a 50-point bonus.
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins $50 and first chance to play the "Super Sqramble"; in the event of a tie (the most recent being Episode #392 on October 26, 2009), both players win the game and $50, and play Super Sqramble together.
Typically there are three winners each week, and each wins a gift certificate to the local Golden Corral.
The score displays use an orange seven-segment readout on a black background; the episode's sponsor (currently Auntie Anne's) has a card located between the contestants.
written in script over a two-digit number with the contestant nameplates underneath; the current score displays (and nametag placements) debuted on March 31, 2003 (Episode #26).
For at least the first 100 episodes, the show used twenty-five boxes at center-stage; this presumably allowed for longer puzzles, more Missers, or both.
Two weeks later (June 21), an oversized $100 bill was placed underneath the show's sponsor plaque between the contestants.
The lights bordering the contestant podium (also to denote turns and winners) first appeared on July 31, 2006 and remained through 2011.
The contestant nameplates were given a much larger font beginning on June 9, 2008 (#284), which was also used for the last seven Hickory episodes.
The current style, which debuted when the show moved to Myrtle Beach, has colored squares behind each name, which themselves are composed of individual letters.
United Community became the sole sponsor beginning on December 7, 2009 (#400), when the show returned to airing one new episode per week; the "Super Stash" plaque was also retired.
From January 14, 2008 to November 16, 2009, and from May 27, 2011 through the end of the Boone era, the show taped on Tuesdays at 6:00 and 7:00 PM.
