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 11-8-21: $62,257
On Jeopardy: $28,000

Helen put one H, one G and three I’s in her puzzle and that really didn’t add up to a slam dunk solve. Somehow, however, in one
O _ _ H _ G R _ A _ M Y _ _ _ R I _ _
of the show, Helen just up and solved it with her first guess. Pat could not believe his ears! She won a new Volkswagen ID.4 Pro worth $41,190 on top of $21,067.

Tue 11-9-21: $21,350
On Jeopardy: $6,799

Angelique had a Wild Card. She got one of each consonant she chose except the Wild Card M. They all went in the last word, leaving
_ H _ A _ J _ C _ I V _ W I _ _ O P _ N
Well, you could see that was rather hopeless. I came up with YODELING even though I knew it was wrong. Apparently, there are a lot of them in Switzerland. Too bad the puzzle makers didn’t think of that! Angelique’s bonus prize would have been an Infiniti QX50.

Wed 11-10-21: $32,350
On Jeopardy: $52,001

Rachel got one G and two A’s from the letters she picked. As usual, that filled in one word nicely. The first word
C O _ L _ _ A V _ B _ _ N A N _ T _ I N _
It could have been something that made sense, too. But since it wasn’t, Rachel didn’t win an extra $39,000.

Thu 11-11-21: $54,500
On Jeopardy: $20,300

Rebecca got two Y’s, one D and one A right with her letters. Vanna turned them over and
F _ R _ W _ L _ _ M _ _ H _ N G _,
they all fell in good places. After that, Rebecca had no problem adding an extra $39,000 to her $15,500 haul from the main game.

Fri 11-12-21: $50,830
On Jeopardy: $34,800

Kevin put an H and a G into his bonus puzzle. The H couldn’t have been that helpful so it must have been the G
T _ _ T T I _ _ E _ T _ E _ C _ L E _
and helped Kevin solve the puzzle so quickly. He won a Mazda CX-5 worth $32,330 on top of $18,500. That made 3 over-$50K paydays on this week’s Wheel.
