The answer boxes denoting the number of letters in a word was shown with a crossword clue and a dollar value. As the game progressed, a word could have multiple blanks already filled in. After the clue was read, the contestants could ring in, with the order they did so denoted on the screens on the front of their podiums.
Another common clue type is the "hidden clue" or "container", where the answer is hidden in the text of the clue itself. For example, "Made a dug-out, buried, and passed away (4)" is solved by DEAD. The answer is written in the clue: "maDE A Dug-out". "Buried" indicates that the answer is embedded within the clue.
Each clue was a toss-up, and answering correctly won money equal to the value of the property, from $60 for Mediterranean Avenue to $400 for Boardwalk. Answering incorrectly deducted that value from a contestant's score. In the event that all three contestants failed to answer a clue, the property value was cut in half and another clue was read.

Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE. "Say" for EG, used to mean "for example". More obscure clue words of this variety include: "Model" for T, referring to the Model T.
