I didn't like Wordplay's scoring either. It gave the advantage to the player who played second, fourth, and sixth. Simple solution: the player with the higher score plays in the third and fifth rounds.

Rest assured that's not the only thing Bob called "the old front & back game."

I don't believe anyone mentioned High Rollers. On the original version, the players' fate was in the hands of Ruta Lee rolling the dice. I always thought the players should roll the dice themselves, at least in the "Big Numbers" round. This was rectified in the '78 version when the show returned without Ruta.

Dbacksfan12:
What does that have to do with scoring?

BillCullen1:
Depending on the dice, that affects a player's score.
