Round 1: WAYD?
Monica instantly BANKRUPTs next to $650. Second, Stacy calls up the obvious — a $1,300 pair of N’s, an I, and a $600 G. But after an O buy, she’s been roadblocked by the R. Third, Melissa has chosen an $1,800 T trio, a $650 H, two E’s, a $700 M, and two A’s to finish off the vowels. Next on her letter list are two F’s for that SS, three Y’s for $2,100 and an $800 P before she’s…

SOLE DUD: R (Stacy)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Monica
Mystery Round: SAME LETTER
Stacy’s first letter of T is no good. Second, Melissa wastes a spin w/ the BANKRUPT near TD. Third, Monica finds three N’s for $1,950, buys four A’s, but then says B for bad. Back to Stacy who retrieves the 1/2 CAR near the pink $900 w/ the SL bonus of four C’s, buys three O’s and an I, but then gets the exact same fate as Melissa to lose $2,500 and her plate. Said middle player next lights up a $1,300 M pair and an L for that WC…

Tonight’s Repeating Bonus Puzzle Flashback: YAKETY-YAK
PP/Express Round: LIVING THINGS
Current leader Melissa first picks up the same 1/2 CAR w/ a T, but then falls victim to that same BANKRUPT from the last round, so the Fiesta is now out of play and her WC is gone. Second, Monica FPs three A’s, takes an $1,800 N trio, buys two I’s, but then falls for the G trap; this isn’t WAYD?, ma’am. Stacy next exposes a $900 R, but then BANKRUPTs next to $650. Melissa follows w/ a D while on EXPRESS, but decides to PASS. And it was probably a good thing, because her next call of H is nowhere to be found. Monica then puts up $800 B and M singles (orange and red, respectively) w/ a U buy in between, but then hits the MDW’s left side to forfeit $2,900…
