Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Phillip "Phil" Roberts
Andy Buttress (returning with about $2,000 in prizes)
Janelle Henderson

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

Round 1

THING

Perfection! Phil solves LETTER BOX.

Rob might have to open a letter from us to read about our prizes. First on its list is a Decor self-watering garden system, a Star Wars clothing collection, and a Columbia-Tristar video library.

Phil can have one, and it will be the garden system.

CLUE

Phil solves STUDIED BY A GRAPHOLOGIST. That was a tough puzzle, but will the clue be even tougher? He might have earned his 200 if he can answer the clue.

(Sophie forgot to reveal the E until after Rob prompted Phil for a guess.)

That was easy enough! He answers handwriting.

Phil will now study our next trio of prizes and decide what's best between a blue Epoch violin, a Tissot lady's bracelet watch, and a Ringgrip garden lighting package.

Phil picks the garden lighting to add to the watering system.

He could operate his own store if he keeps winning stuff. One of the items for sale would be a Sevylor blow-up boat, a Seagull Pewter tableware set, or a Furitechnics knife collection.

Andy ends with the coffee set.

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

Let's see how much help he gets from TRNS, and O:

PHRASE

With two full words, he says TO HAVE OR, then TO LOOK OR. After time expires, Rob says the second word, which gives away TO MAKE OR BREAK. Phil had a tough one, but he could be in better shape tomorrow.
