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.

Season 39

Mon 11-29-21: $22,050
On Jeopardy: $47,000

Cindy scored two A’s but just one P out of the letters she decided to go with. She might
H _ V _ M _ D _ _ O M _ H _ _ D W _ Y
by thinking of something on the stove for the last 3 letters of the last word. She didn’t seem to know where to start though, so she lost out on a new MINI Cooper. That makes 4 car prizes in a row now but only one win.

Tue 11-30-21: $18,750
On Jeopardy: $38,000

Amy put one H, one C and two A’s in the bonus puzzle. Even though that left the last word completely blank, we thought it
W _ _ L D J _ S _ F L _ W F _ R _ H
when she said the first two words out loud. Sadly it didn’t and, in retrospect, it was a real head slapper that hurt. At least we didn’t have to see another car on the card. The lost bonus prize was $39,000.

Wed 12-1-21: $61,606
On Jeopardy: $41,000

Tonya got one D and three A’s from her letter. She also had a Wild Card. It yielded two P’s. That was
_ N _ R E D _ B _ Y H E _ P F _ _ _ N _ N _ O _ K _ N G
the solution. Tonya added $39,000 to the $22,606 she already racked up.

Thu 12-2-21: $26,200
On Jeopardy: $61,800

Lisa uncovered almost all of the last word with one H and two P’s, but she got no help with the first word.
_ H _ O B _ _ A C L _ _ H I _ _ I M _
turned out to be a word that began with a vowel. Frustrating but not that surprising. Pat had a MINI Cooper on the card and the contestants haven’t had much luck collecting cars lately.

Fri 12-3-21: $28,520
On Jeopardy: $53,400

Lanessa put 3 different letters in the puzzle: a D, an M, and an A. Sometimes, talking it out
W O _ _ S L I _ E _ C H _ _ M
and sometimes, it just doesn’t. Time ran out while Lanessa was trying to figure out the last word so she missed out on the $39,000 bonus prize.
