There will be one (1) Misspelled Word per day during the Sweepstakes Period, with a new Misspelled Word each day. Each Misspelled Word can only be used during the day it appears on Match Game.

Before midnight EST on each applicable day, entrants may submit the Misspelled Word for that day either via Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. The Misspelled Word for that day must be submitted before midnight on the applicable day in order to be a valid entry for that day’s prize.
