Round 1: BEFORE & AFTER

But she and Lyn struck out right away w/ T and N, respectively. Going to Susie already who called up two R’s for $1,100, a $1,200 S pair, two O’s, but then L for loss. Lisa next said F as in the food, but that also stood for flunk. Lyn next picked a $300 M, but then a worthless vowel of U. Susie then chose a $400 D, four E’s, and a $600 P. We had…

S P _ R E
_ E D R O O M
E _ E S
