He picks up the WC, but loses it right back to Carol’s most recent BANKRUPT.

T H E / W I _ _ E _
W I T _ H / _ _ / T H E
W E _ T
_ I _ E / _ T _ _ _

…but she only gets the BEFORE part (THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST), so she likely kisses $13,350 goodbye. Carol spins once for the C’s for $600…

T H E / W I C _ _ E _
