Wheel of Fortune, Week of 2-15-2021
It’s Wheel of Fortune, America’s Game and we’re posting the Bonus Puzzle with the winner’s final prize amount. By way of comparison, the Jeopardy! payoff is also included with a link to the recap of that game.
Theme: Wheel Across America
Mon 2-15-21: $12,800
On Jeopardy: $14,195
Annie got one of each letter she chose. The A went in the otherwise totally empty second word. 10 seconds is never enough when
I _ 
C O _ _ S _ O _ D _ _ C _ I V _ S
with only one letter. The bonus prize on the card was a Ford Bronco.
Tue 2-16-21: $18,200
On Jeopardy: $23,195
Eric put a D, an F and an A into his bonus puzzle. That only told him the first word. It’s rough when you think that he would have been
_ O _ _ I _ G I _ T _ E C _ O V E _
if he chose a certain “O”ther vowel. Eric missed out on an extra $38,000.
Wed 2-17-21: $18,200
On Jeopardy: $1,999
Kevin got one P and one I from his letters. In some more déjà vu, there was no question about the first word after they were revealed. That last word was just hopeless without the first letter,
A _ _ H E _ E R _ _ E A S _
It’s true that one has to take the bonus card loss on the chin, but some hits are harder than others. In this case, it was the $100,000 card. Ouch ouch ouch!
Thu 2-18-21: $51,550
On Jeopardy: $14,800
Milissa added one P, two D’s and one A into the mix. When you’ve picked the starting letters of the two most important words in the puzzle,
_ T ‘ S Q U _ T _ _ N _ D V _ N T _ G _
Milissa had no problem figuring out those living things. She racked up an extra $38,000 on top of the $13,550 she already won.
Fri 2-19-21: $17,610
On Jeopardy: $33,201
Erica got 3 I’s from her letters and none of her consonants. That presented her with an E before I word and that
W _ U L _ C _ N F U _ E M _ _ T _ E _ _ L E
On top of that, there were too many possibilities for the last word to figure out in 10 seconds. Pat knew the bonus prize was a Ford Bronco before we did because he mistakenly opened the card right after Erica handed it to him.
