She gets TO PLEASE, but she does not solve HARD TO PLEASE. Cindy finishes with $3,050 and is still coming back.
In the post-game, Pat and Vanna mention that a dictionary is one of the prizes. That book is really big and heavy! Pat says we should learn a word a week, and he starts with "oxisol", a sick-weathered soil of the human tropics.
(Charlie announces that due to a production problem, a spin was recreated.)
