Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Samantha Harris (Season 2) and Ahmad Rashad (Season 1), TUG OF WORDS is a half-hour game show, where two teams compete to answer word clue questions correctly and pull the flag on the "tug of war rope" to their side. In round one, each answer involves changing a single letter in the word that appears on the board. For example, with "TUG" on the board, the answer to the clue "a label inside a garment" is "TAG," and with "TAG" then on the board, the answer to the clue "hopefully the upstairs neighbors aren't learning this dance" is "TAP." 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 opportunity to compete for $10,000. Partly inspired by the playground game Tug-O-War, a new episode of TUG OF WAR debuts each weekday (Mon-Fri) at 4:30pm ET on GSN.
