Season 39

Mon 12-27-21: $66,750
On Jeopardy: $38,400

Frank chose the letters W, P, D and I and one of each was in his puzzle. The task at hand was made much
_ A S I _ _ U N D _ _ _ H O S _ _ I _ _ U M S _ A N _ _ S
Frank had $50,000 reasons to be what the puzzle said after he solved it!

Tue 12-28-21: $59,150
On Jeopardy: $23,400

Eric made it very obvious that he knew the solution to the puzzle by picking the letters that would prove it. Just about
_ V _ R Y _ I M _ _ H I _ H A _ _ _ N _,
Pat says the contestant is “toying with us.” Not really, Pat. That would be if the contestant picked none of the right letters and then solved it before your astonished eyes! Eric won a new Mazda MX-30 worth $38,650.

Wed 12-29-21: $23,800
On Jeopardy: $37,400

Sandra got one C and one O from the letters she chose. That was not a lot of help in solving the entire puzzle
B _ C _ U S _ T H _ S _ C _ N _ W _ R _
was a toughie. It was only a 2-letter word but all 2-letter words with R, S, T, N and O were ruled out. Well, Sandra just ignored that word and tried to talk out a 3-word solution so she couldn’t have won the Mazda MX-30 in any case.

Thu 12-30-21: $61,957
On Jeopardy: $25,600

Kanchi put a P, two D’s and one A into the bonus puzzle. That was a good puzzle for
A _ Y O _ E _ I C _ I _ G _ H E _ E _ _ E R S
G or O but Kanchi didn’t need either one. She hopped right on it and after the bonus card prize was revealed, she hopped right in her brand new $38,650 Mazda MX-30.

Fri 12-31-21: $31,450
On Jeopardy: $24,000

Rana got a C, two M’s and three A’s from the letters she chose. Apparently, Rana
W _ S N O _ F _ M _ L _ _ R W _ _ H
the shortened spelling that was the first word. If they used the regular long form of the word, it would have looked like this after Rana’s letters were added:
C _ M _ _ R T A B L E _ A _ A M A S
It’s a sure bet she would have solved it. Believe it or not, that Mazda MX-30 was the bonus prize
