Round 1: HEADLINE
He opens w/ four T’s for $2,400, two E’s, a $1,400 pair of S’s, two O’s, two H’s for the Foodydirect gift tag, four I’s, and a $1,200 pair of P’s before he tries to solve…

S _ P E _ / _ O _ _
…but he gets the fourth word wrong w/ PATRIOTS WIN THEIR SIXTH SUPER BOWL, so that will probably cost him $5,750 cash & GT. Lauren then puts up a FP A, two F’s for the WC, and a $1,500 R trio…

…she capitalizes for $2,500 w/ “PATRIOTS WIN THEIR FIFTH SUPER BOWL”.
SOLE DQ: Scott’s missolve
Mystery Round: SAME NAME
Lauren first loses her WC to the MDW’s right side. Shaun secondly comes up w/ a $1,300 pair of T’s, E and A singles, and an R on the MW near $650. She risks the $800 remainder for…NOTHING. Third, Scott picks up that MDW only to give it right back to the BANKRUPT near $650. Lauren tries again w/ an $800 N, but the sole dud vowel of O stops her. Shaun next picks a $500 Y, buys the other two vowels of I and two U’s, but the same normal BANKRUPT strikes again. After Scott LaTs out, Lauren puts up an $1,800 pair of L’s, a $500 D, but the LaT nails her. Shaun then decides to just solve…
