On Jeopardy: $25,201

Tyler put an H and an O in his bonus puzzle. That actually helped a lot
_ N T H _ S _ A R T _ C _ _ A R _ _ Z Z L _
Once Tyler got a bead on the first word, the solution wasn’t far behind. Tyler was more than happy to add a Chevy Camaro worth $29,780 to his winnings.

On Jeopardy: $12,601

Jordi had a Wild Card but she didn’t really need it. She filled in enough of the puzzle with her regular choices to make solving it
_ _ I _ C E O _ C _ K _
Jordi capped off her regular winnings with an extra $38,000.

Wed 6-2-21: $32,890
On Jeopardy: $19,700

Bridget had a Wild Card but it wasn’t much help. She was only able to put two F’s in the last word of
_ N U _ U S U A _ _ Y _ O _ G P U _ _ _ E
and not exactly a common phrase, if you ask me. Bridget missed out on the $38,000 bonus prize but she won over $30K in the main game.

Thu 6-3-21: $25,970
On Jeopardy: $16,450

Ron got one H and one I from his letters. The third word
_ A S _ H E _ N L _ M _ S _ E R _
to me and that helped me get it, but it didn’t help Ron at all. He couldn’t get a good start anywhere and lost out on a Chevy Camaro.

Fri 6-4-21: $13,700
On Jeopardy: $9,800

Sara put one M and two I’s in her puzzle. That presented a problem when she came up with
A P _ R F _ C _ L Y R _ A S O _ A B L _ A L _ _ R _ A _ I V _
to the actual first word. When that happens, any chance of solving the puzzle evaporates into thin air. Sara missed out on a Ford Escape Hybrid.
