Willie had the Million Dollar Wedge and a Wild Card. He can
T _ _ N _ _ I _ L _ C _ Y _ T _ R _
for that Wild Card. He picked an H with it and that just about gave him the solution. The audience was applauding wildly with his first guess and Pat was yelling “No, no, no!” Willie only had to switch out one letter to get it right and he had plenty of time to do it in. He won a Toyota 4Runner SR5 worth $41,098 to go with the $16,200 he had already racked up.

Summer had a Wild Card for an extra consonant, but she only got her vowel out of her letters. That went into the last word so she
K _ E _ _ H A _ _ O _ D _ N S _ A _ _ L Y.
The first word remained a mystery until the timer ran out; thus the $37,000 on the card was out of her grasp.

Tamika got one of each consonant she chose and two instances of her vowel. The cumulative effect of putting all that in the puzzle
_ _ O _ U C E _ A _ A P P _ _ E _ U L _.
Tamika won a Toyota 4Runner SR5 worth $41,098. She won $27,100 in the main game, too. Woo hoo!

With a million dollars on the line, Cyndi only got a B out of her letters. There was a
S _ I _ H T _ _ I M M _ R _ F H _ P _
when she zeroed in on the last word, but as we have seen too often, the other one just wasn’t that easy. Pat said he’d rather see “a bowl of pasta” than the million dollars on the card. It was “only” $37,000, as it turned out.

On Jeopardy: $2,399

Terri put a P and two A’s into the puzzle. As Pat said, there were still a lot of blank places. Terri went to work and set
_ T R _ L _ I M _ R _ S S I _ _ _ X _ M _ L _
of talking it out. She got it with only seconds to spare and won a Toyota 4Runner SR5 worth $41,098, on top of the $24,678 from the main game.
