Round 1: RHYME TIME

A & D are off to a bad start w/ N for no. Second, J &M call three $650 R’s, four $900 T’s, but then a worthless O (Margaret wanted the I instead). Third, J & C choose two $700 S’s and two $600 G’s to go to $2,600…

S T _ R / _ _ G _ T
S T _ R / _ R _ G _ T

…they solve “STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT” to get on the board.

J & C: $2,600/A & D: $2K/J & M: $1K

Mystery Round: BEFORE & AFTER

J & M waste a spin w/ the MDW’s left side. J & C secondly call out a FP A, and an N while on the MW near $650. Will they be happy after the obvious gamble…yes. Next up are two FP O’s, a $600 D, a $1K T, two U’s, a $700 C, an E to clean out the vowels…a $500 L…two $600 P’s…a $3,500 R…and two $600 M’s to complete the board…

PP/Express Round: PHRASE

Our big leaders pick up the gift tag right away w/ an S, buy four E’s, but then LaT out. Second, A & D uncover a $1,600 pair of R’s, but then T for trouble. Third, J & M have the same result w/ N. J & C spin on w/ two L’s for that MDW, two I’s, two $900 M’s, and the leftover vowels (one O and three A’s)…
