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.

Pat is back for real and all’s right with the world (to paraphrase Robert Browning)

Kendall got one H and one O from the letters she chose. That told her the first word but she ran
_ N _ O A S _ U M _ L _ N G _ L O C _,
still thinking there was a P in there. No matter, that was a really difficult puzzle and it would have taken a miracle to win the $37,000 bonus.

Adrian added one C and two M’s to his bonus puzzle. He certainly gave it a mighty try but that last word
_ U _ T _ L U D _ D H I _ G _ A _ P.
It’s been a while since a vehicle prize showed up on the card, hasn’t it? Alas, he did not win that Ford Escape.

Wed 1-15-20 $16,001
On Jeopardy: $16,001

Derek got one M and one A from the letters he picked. He got off
_ N T _ E _ R _ N _ F _ _ T
by trying to put another A on the board. Sometimes, 10 seconds will fly by before you can realize that. Pat was holding a $37,000 card.

Thu 1-16-20 $22,540
On Jeopardy: $21,000

Mark got one M and one A from his letters (the same as Derek yesterday!) That made the last word as clear
A _ A C _ O U D _ E _ _ _ K _.
He didn’t have the same luck with the first word though, so the Ford on the card “Escaped” his grasp.

Fri 1-17-20 $65,490
On Jeopardy: $21,601

Trish put one W and two O’s in her bonus puzzle in very strategic spots. So it only took her a few seconds to tell Pat the phrase. But
_ H _ T _ V _ R D O _ S _ T M _ _ N ?
We don’t know but we do know it meant an extra $50,000 for Trish to add to her $15,490 from the main game. What a haul!!
