WoF Fax (purposely misspelled):
- The R1 puzzle was a NICKNAME instead of THINGS
- R3 and R4 are played in the same segment
- The BR puzzle is improperly hyphenated. It should instead be GOODBYE KISS.
- Pat and Vanna did not sign off.
MY REVIEW: A lot of mistakes, including Ginger's constant letter repetition, so I'll give this a solid 6/10. I'll be back with more spinning and winning!
