Round 1: AROUND THE HOUSE
She gets started w/ two T’s for $1,800, two E’s, the same number of R’s for $1,300, and an I, followed by an $800 N, the rest of the vowels (three U’s, one O, and an A via FP), a $900 F…a $700 S…
_ U S T O _ – _ A _ E
F U R N I T U R E
…but then a FATAL DUD of L to leave $4,500 on the table — no way, girl. -__- Russell then lights up a $1,400 pair of M’s…
_ U S T O M – M A _ E
F U R N I T U R E
…and keeps that amount towards buying some CUSTOM-MADE FURNITURE.
SOLE CRITICAL DUD: L (Kacey)
Mystery Round: BEFORE & AFTER
That man leads off w/ a $1,300 pair of T’s, double E’s, but then the BANKRUPT near TD. Second, Shawnee wastes a turn w/ the MDW’s right side. Third, Kacey picks up the Morocco trip w/ two H’s, buys two A’s, and finds a $700 S. After she buys the remainder of the vowels that isn’t an I (three O’s and two U’s), here come a $900 G, four L’s for the 1/2 CAR near the orange $900, a $700 F…but then the LaT to likely squander $11,550 cash & trip. Russell then locates a $2,700 trio of R’s…

Let’s ROLL OUT THE BARREL OF LAUGHS for him, because he’s capitalized on another Kacey downfall.
SOLE LaT: Kacey
BANKRUPTS: 2 (other players)
Russell: $4,100/Shawnee: ZERO/Kacey: $3K
Bonus Puzzle Flashback (1990): THING
This man got some help from HMCA…
A N C H _ _ _
…but he still doesn’t get ANCHOVY.
PP/Express Round: PHRASE
Shawnee gets that MDW right away w/ an N, then following a null cycle (Pat was saying “There you go”) are a $600 D, three O’s, two E’s, and C for crud. Kacey secondly exposes two $900 Y’s, three H’s while on the other 1/2 CAR, and four A’s, then we show her…
Y O _ / H A _ E / N O
_ D E A / H O _
H A _ _ Y / _ / A _
She rightly admits “YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM” for $3,050 plus a trip to the St. James’s Club Morgan Bay in ST. LUCIA worth $7,150.
SOLE DUD: C (Shawnee)
Russell: $4,100/Shawnee: BUPKIS/Kacey: $13,200 cash & St. Lucia
$3K Tossup: SHOW BIZ
C _ N _ M _ _ O _ R _ P _ Y
Shawnee’s scoreless no more by by pronouncing CINEMATOGRAPHY correctly, though Pat mistakenly ruled her incorrect.
Round 4: THINGS
Next from her mouth are a $700 S, a FP I, four E’s, a $900 N, a $500 K, an A, a $650 R, but then the one bad vowel of this puzzle (U). Following Kacey’s $1K pair of T’s…
K N E E – _ I _ _
_ E A T _ E R / _ _ _ T S
…we go into an $1,800 FS. Her next pick is the triple H’s…
K N E E – H I _ H
_ E A T H E R / _ _ _ T S
…she wins $6,400 more from this pair of KNEE-HIGH LEATHER BOOTS.
SOLE DUD BEFORE FS: U (Shawnee)

Russell: $4,100/Shawnee: $3K/Kacey: $19,600 cash & St. Lucia
