Excellent main game from Cody! I understand buying the extra vowel in the Express, as I would've needed it as well. The Speed-Up was also fun.

For some reason, I never thought of PLANNING A TRIP for the second Toss-Up. For the third Triple, I said BREAD STICKS at first.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. Just another reminder to talk it out!

Wow, Cody! What a wonderful game you played!

I underestimated your Bonus Round skills. After about 7 seconds, I figured it out with RSTLNE, and while I knew just the I alone would probably be enough to know BRIEF, it didn't add any help to the rest, and I figured it was a lost cause and turned off the show. What amazes me the most is that you immediately went to POWER even with multiple options for ___ER. My first guess for that setup is usually PAPER, but I should know better about the W's. Not sure why you had to say the answer twice when you barely paused the first time.

I said the answer twice just in excitement… I wanted to make sure they heard me!

Truth be told I had a lot of things on my side tonight, including some unfortunate blunders from my opponents. But it all worked out and ended up being a day I’ll never forget!

Cody, that was a great game you played! Kaycie may have activated anti-plot armor after the Triple Toss-Up (though why she kept spinning in R2 was beyond me), but you managed to prevent a huge upset (which hardly even happens on this show...if we're taking about taking down a big lead).

BR: I also got it a few seconds after RSTLNE came up. Wise move keeping the WC.

8/10 (initially a 7)

Your bonus round solve was quite impressive, I did not think you had enough on the board to get it.

Cody, you crushed this game! 👏🏾

Your guess on the second Toss-Up was great. Buying a vowel after clearing out the consonants on the Express was understandable. And, as mentioned, holding on to your Wild Card in Round 1 worked out very nicely for you in the Bonus Round.

I felt terrible for Kaycie after her huge BANKRUPT in Round 2 but thrilled that she solved the Triple Toss-Up. It sure was interesting to see her spin so many times in Round 2 but not gamble with the special wedges. Had she gotten one last turn in the Final Spin, she might have pulled off one of the wildest comebacks this season.

By the way, the second Triple Toss-Up stumped me.

My rating: 8

Enjoy your winnings, Cody!
