Round 1: WAYD?

The Tilkians start us off w/ three N’s for $2,700, two I’s, a $700 D, a single E, but then the BANKRUPT near $650 to lose $2,900. Second, the Rookses waste a turn w/ the MDW’s left side. Third, the Shankses call up a $650 G, an A, two S’s for the cruise, and four O’s, but the other normal BANKRUPT forces them to give up $9,483 cash & cruise. Back to the Tilkians w/ an $1,800 H pair, an $800 P, but then the same BANKRUPT they got before to lose $2,600. The Rookses then put up the last consonants of two $700 R’s and a $650 L…

S H A R I N G / O _ R
P H O T O S / O N _ I N E

…we’re NOT gonna be SHARING OUR PHOTOS ONLINE, but they have their first $2,050.

The Rookses are off and running w/ an $1K pair of R’s, two E’s, three A’s, a $1,300 pair of S’s, two I’s, a $650 P, and the last vowel of O. They follow w/ a $500 N and a C while on the MW near LaT before they risk $2,450…$$$. Next are a FP B, a $700 M, and a $600 L before they try to complete this grid…

…you’ll LOVE that their PR solve was worth $14,250.

Rookses: $16,300/Shankses: ZIP/Tilkians: $3K

PP/Express Round: PLACE

The Shankses start this crucial round w/ a $1,300 R pair, three A’s, but then T for turnover. Second, the Tilkians spin up the same MDW BANKRUPT. Third for the Rookses are a $1,400 pair of S’s, an E, a $550 P, two I’s, a $600 D…

but then the sole bad vowel of O. After the Shankses goof w/ H…

A / S _ R _ I _ _
P A R A D I S E

…but then the sole dud vowel of O — SORFING?! -__- After the Shankses goof w/ the H, the Tilkians have won A SURFING PARADISE to that Aulani Resort in OAHU.

Category: PHRASE

The last three words were last used in late S26 and solved for $30K…

_ _ _ / _ _ T
_ _ / _ _ _ N _ S

PGHO gives them nothing but three of the hot vowel…

_ _ _ / O _ T
O _ / _ O _ N _ S

…but they literally go WAY OUT OF BOUNDS thinking the first word’s RIGHT (wha?), so $45K goes down the drain for them.

MY RATING: 6
