Mon 4-27-20 $24,404
On Jeopardy: $8,400

Kathy only got two A’s from the letters she chose. That certainly didn’t
_ A K _ _ H I _ G _ A _ Y _ A _ I _ R.
Kathy’s stab at the first word was spot on, at any rate. Alas, she couldn’t get a bead on the last word so she didn’t win the $37,000 on the card.

Tue 4-28-20 $19,750
On Jeopardy: $15,500

Jen only got one A out of her letters. It was similar to yesterday and the first two days of last week, except it fell on the one letter word, virtually leaving her
_ O _ _ I _ G _ O _ O R _ _ I _ _.
That wasn’t the worst thing that could happen though. Pat was holding the $100,000 card. What a bummer!

Wed 4-29-20 $23,100
On Jeopardy: $34,400

Tamisha successfully picked an A and a D. You could see that wasn’t going to be enough to lead her to the answer. I strongly suspect she won’t be
_ _ S _ N G S _ _ _ P _ V _ R _ T.
No one would have picked the consonants that would have made all the difference. The lost prize was $37,000 on this one.

Thu 4-30-20 $54,200
On Jeopardy: $13,000

Valerie got one H and one B out of her letter choices. I suspect she chose that B off a strong hunch on the last word and the H
A _ _ H E _ R O _ A _ L E E _ _ I _ G
of the first word, since it could not be a T or an E. True or not, it all worked out and Valerie picked up 37,000 bonus bucks to add to the $17,200 she already won.

Fri 5-1-20 $22,408
On Jeopardy: $30,400

George added two D’s to his bonus puzzle. He started out with a right guess on the first word and switched to a wrong guess, the
O _ _ O S I _ E O _ W _ A _ _ A _ _ E N E _
to me. That little switcheroo meant he could not get the last word or the $37,000 on the card.
