A correct guess or pass transfers control to the guesser for the next word, and a new guesser is chosen at random. In addition, unlike the first two rounds, passing always gives the incoming giver a new word (the same goes if an illegal clue is given or a player whose not taking a turn guessing calls out an answer).
