Tim solves PLAYING POLO.
Round 1: PHRASE
His first moves are a $1,300 T pair, four FP E’s, but then BANKRUPT near $650. Second, Janet wastes a turn w/ the other normal BANKRUPT. Third, Colleen calls up a $1,300 R pair, three A’s and an I to clean out the vowels; she follows w/ a $1,300 G pair, two S’s to add $1,800, but then the MDW’s left side to forfeit $3,900. Tim tries again w/ a $650 V, but he then runs into the same BANKRUPT Janet got. Said blue player then inserts an $1,800 N trio, and three H’s to throw in $2,400…

Crossword/Mystery Round: _______ FREE
Janet strikes out right away w/ an H. Colleen secondly picks off a $3,500 R, buys an A, but here comes the other MDW BANKRUPT to take away $3,250. Tim thirdly misses w/ M. Janet next digs up a $650 D, an I, two $900 Y’s, an O, a $700 N, but then P for phooey on the MW near LaT. Colleen follows suit w/ a $1,300 T pair, two U’s, a $650 G, but then the BANKRUPT near $650 to lose $1,700 this time. After Tim spins up the same MDW BANKRUPT, Janet plugs in a $1,300 pair of L’s…
