Sam replied, "Meghan Trainor!"

The gameplay continues with various words like 'prize', 'king', 'queen', 'fix', 'clue', 'despair', and 'glue'. Despite some passes, the team achieves success, with the mention of 'turkey', 'sausage', 'ham', and 'lunch' forming associations like 'sandwich' and 'Nashville', leading to 'Tennessee'.
