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 12-20-21: $28,200
On Jeopardy: $34,800

Kennise only got one letter from her selections and that was a C. That gave her one letter in each
_ O _ D _ O _ O _ K _ I _ H
but that was just not enough to win this $39,000 bonus prize.

Tue 12-21-21: $16,500
On Jeopardy: $35,000

Charlene filled in a lot of spots with a D, 2 G’s, 3 H’s and 2 I’s. Only the last word gave her pause and that brought
_ _ U _ E I _ T _ P _ _ Y
that I have never seen in action before. Charlene solved the puzzle right before the buzzer went off but Pat said she did not read the solution off “more or less” continuously. The 4 or 5 seconds she paused between the third and fourth words cost her an Audi Q3. She took that news most graciously.

UPDATE: In the spirit of Christmas and with the help of fans on Twitter, Audi USA stepped in to give Charlene a new Audi.

On Jeopardy: $25,200

Leslie only put two A’s in her bonus puzzle but they were in good places. As we know, that is
_ F T E _ A _ E _ _ R M _ U S _ E _ P,
and it was in this case. Leslie solved the puzzle in half the time and won an Audi Q3 worth $38,470.

On Jeopardy: $56,000

Alyssa got one A from the letters she selected. Unlike yesterday, it was not in
A V _ R _ H _ _ P F U _ P _ A C _,
and didn’t make this puzzle one whit easier to solve. Alyssa didn’t have any luck with it and missed out on an Audi Q3.

Fri 12-24-21: $13,274
On Jeopardy: $19,400

Charlotte picked superb letters. An M, a B, two D’s and two I’s were all in the puzzle and her
_ H A N _ _ S L _ _ K _ D V _ R Y G _ _ D,
indeed. Somehow, the solution got away from her when she didn’t recognize the right amount of letters in the last word. As hard as it is to believe, that Audi Q3 showed up yet again.
