That will certainly score Barry a win. Would he try to drive off with the $5,000 space?

Surely, she can fill in more with CDMA.
"Oh, that's terrible."
She says SALT, and she couldn't sweep it. She does not solve QUIZ SHOW, and some hissing is heard after it's revealed. Linda still has $10,700 in cash.
In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna can't believe the difficulty of the puzzle. Then again, Pat thinks she blew it. If she had the presence of mind to call Q, Z, and W, he thinks she would've had that.
