New game - PASSWORD (sign up)

As I said in another thread, I want to try some of the older TV Game Shows. Here's one of them:

PASSWORD

2 teams made up of 2 players each will compete. The object of each game is to guess the final answer. Each final answer will have 5 one-word clues (passwords). Example: The Answer is "IRELAND". The clues may be: green, potato, luck, U2, country.

The gameplay: Each team will have one clue-giver and one guesser for each round. The first clue-giver will receive the clue, and he will try to get his partner to guess the clue. He can only give a single one-word hint. His partner then has one chance to guess the clue. If he cannot, the play passes to the opposing team, who then have the opportunity to give a hint, and guess at the clue. Each team will get two chances to guess the clue. Whichever team guesses the clue will then have a chance to make one guess at the Final Answer. If they are correct, they win the round. If they are incorrect, they get the first chance at the next clue. If neither team guesses the clue correctly, the clue is revealed and the same team goes first for the next clue.

Example: (clue is "green")
Team A giver says "color", Team A player guesses "red"
Team B giver says "grass", Team B player says "green". Team B will now have one chance to guess the final answer. If they're wrong, they get the first chance at the next clue, "potato"

Once all 5 clues are revealed, the teams alternate back and forth guessing until one team guesses correctly. I have 5 puzzles created today, the first team to guess 3 will win.

No spelling of the clue is allowed, no using any part of the word in the hint (e.g. "run" is not an ok hint for "running", "monk" is not an ok hint for "monkey"). One-word hints only, no hyphenated clues.

I will PM all 5 clues to each team's giver at the beginning of the round. During the round, only the guesser may guess at the final answer. Once all 5 clues are revealed, the givers will alternate with the guessers at guessing the Final Answer.

If the guesser gets part of the word correctly, I will let him know he has part of the word, and he needs to give me the correct word. Example: The clue is "runner". If a player guesses "run", I will tell him he has part of it correct and he gets one chance to say "runner". If he guesses something else (runs, running, etc), then the play goes to the other team.

The giver/guesser roles will reverse after each round. If the score is tied at 2-2, each team will get to select who gives/guesses for the final round.

First 4 to sign up are in. First is Team A giver, 2nd is Team B giver, 3rd is Team A guesser, last is Team B guesser.
