It’s Gone Fishin’ Week on Wheel of Fortune 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.

Mon 9-17-18 Wheel: $21,339
On Jeopardy: $24,801

Kendra only got one of her letter choices, the A. With only that teensy bit of help, it was a
_ _UGH NU _ _ _ _ RA _ K.
The might have been on the card was $36,000.

Tue 9-18-18 Wheel: $31,678
On Jeopardy: $24,801

John got one C and one A from his selections. That was good enough for him to figure out the last word of the puzzle but
_ HE _ L _ _K RAN _ U _
before he could get a bead on the first word. Another $36,000 miss.

Wed 9-19-18 Wheel: $20,400
On Jeopardy: $19,601

Lynette didn’t get any of her letters so, once again, help was not on the way. She missed out on an extra $36,000. However,
_ V _ RY C _ OU _ HA _ A _ I _ V _ R _ I _ I _ G
and in this case, it was the $20K+ she picked up in the main game.

Thu 9-20-18 Wheel: $11,500
On Jeopardy: $18,200

Abby got a G and an I out of her letter picks. Alas, they were the two letters she already knew were in there and that only works
_ _ CE I _ A _ LUE M _ _ _
She lost out on a spanking new Jeep Cherokee. We must all remember that it’s tote’s easier to visualize letters you know are in there than ones you don’t.

Fri 9-21-18 Wheel: $31,585
On Jeopardy: $22,100

Alexa had the Million Dollar wedge AND a Wild Card for an extra consonant pick. She got 2 M’s, 1 D and 2 A’s out of her choices. It was looking pretty promising there but, unfortunately, Alexa was not destined to get the first word or the Jeep Cherokee on the card. We’re not going to report on Pat’s awkward attempt to make her feel better. This is for Vanna White’s aunt on No. 112.
