April put 2 P’s and one G in the bonus puzzle. Those P’s were certainly pivotal in

April quickly figured it out and capped off her $23,450 winnings with an additional $38,000.

Anjali got one G, one C and one I from the letters she chose. I can’t figure out
W H _ _ _ H _ _ R O _ L _ M W _ S
but it looked like Anjali got it right away, yet the clock kept running. Maybe it was a pronunciation issue although it sounded right to me the first time. Anjali won a Jeep Wrangler worth $43,555 on top of the $15,550 from the main game.

Jesse put a C and a G into this two-word bonus puzzle. He couldn’t get to the correct solution,
D _ S P I _ _ _ V _ L I _ N _ _ R Y
so he lost out on an extra $38,000. I would have given him the money just for the “chilly bugs” guess.

Craig got one of each letter he chose. That enabled him to take one look at the puzzle and solve it

He added $38,000 to the $16,900 win that got him to the bonus round.
