Shuffle (1988 Pilot)

"Today, (insert contestants' names) and you can over win over $25,000. Come on down and play SHUFFLE! And now, here is star of SHUFFLE, DICK CLARK!"

Shuffle is a 1988 unsold pilot hosted by Dick Clark, fresh off from The $25,000/$100,000 Pyramid, announced by Rod Roddy, produced by Hiller & Company and it was taped for CBS on December 25, 1988 at CBS Television City in Hollywood, California and planned as a replacement for Card Sharks along with Winfall but lost out to the Chuck Henry-hosted revival Now You See It. The concept of a Shuffle game show later came to reality in 1994 as Shuffle: The Interactive Game.

Gameplay
Three contestants can win over cash and prizes with $25,000.

Main Game
The game is to rearrange letters to make a word in the proper order and then a contestant has won with $25,000. The game is played in three rounds.

Bonus Game
The bonus game is simply a faster version of the main game, except it had a 45-second time limit.
