I just remembered the new clue was released today. Figured it out before visiting the forum and I'm glad to see some other folks playing along. It is most certainly a clue in a telephone recording, the letter G.
And I'll admit it; it was pretty fun.

I found both P and D the clues of the first 2 riddles!! I think you have to put all the clues together to make a code or something. Thats my guess.
OK, I've been watching the video over and over again and I'm not getting the clue from last week. How did you figure that out?

He said you need to put the 'clues' together, but he meant the letters, I think.

The number is 443 669 2444 call it,, its G hmmmmm
How did you get that number?

Using the first letter of each word in this line: "Just call the number hidden somewhere in this very line." I got (528) 647-4885 which has a Mexican area code, definitely not domestic. That contradicted the clue.

So now I am more interested in deciphering the clue than the prize.

Watch the Official Product Introduction [youtube.com] video. At 4:02 there is a small line at the bottom that says "Looking for something..." At 4:33 another line appears at the top right that says, "A clue perhaps?" At 5:20 in the top left it says "Watch carefully at 6:01..." At 6:01 the name Jon Deal comes up with a box around the "D" in "Deal." You can click on the box to close it. That is how you find clue # 2.

Argh, I only saw the 4:33 clue. I was so confused!

Count the number of letters in each word.
"Just" = 4 letters
"call" = 4 letters
"the" = 3 letters, etc.

Thanks, gang Smilie

I'm no 'Wheel of Fortune' expert, but have to think at some point we're going to need to buy a vowel. Either that, or the 7-letter answer is going to be some sort of puzzle in-and-of itself?

Ask and ye shall receive: we finally got a vowel (this week's answer is the letter "E").
