From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to a Wheel Escape!
Did we find that Wheel of Fortune buff who can solve this Toss-Up with just one letter?
Go!
Carol solves BY HOOK OR BY CROOK.
We've hooked up this trio:
Carol Sheehy: Runs a book store café, from Novato, CA
Smambi Dalal: Graduated in June and is working as a consultant, and her boyfriend from Toronto flew in just to watch this show; from Philadelphia, PA
Cody Mews: Quality engineer, and his wife is related to Pocahontas (from several generations earlier); from Newton, IA
Go!
Carol solves MEADOWLARK.
If she can befriend one, it might be easier if it could just fly in and snatch the $10,000 prize for her.
If you can't beat our executives for the Jackpot prize...wait, we don't have a job opening just yet. Do we?
Cody reads what's on the board.
It's only human to want a little more. Will one of these players be the curious cat who flips over the Mystery Wedge for a $10,000 cash prize?
Perfection! Cody solves FLIGHT ATTENDANTS PREPARE FOR LANDING, and with that cash, he's got a trip to Mexico and stay at the all-suite Pueblo Bonito Rose Resort & Spa Cabo San Lucas worth $5,500.
Go!
Shambi solves LUXEMBOURG.
Good enough to put her on our map. Not good enough for her to ignore the $5,000 space, though we're sure she'd try to spin it anyway.
DING DING! DING DING!
That makes it clear that time is running out, and Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.
Shambi: S ($4,750)
Cody: F ($1,600)
Carol: R (x2) ($3,200)
Shambi solves THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
FCDA certainly helps with the last word.

We fear there's a crook somewhere who'd deny us this Toss-Up money, but it won't be easy for them.

BONUS ROUND:
Another great day at all three spots, but only one heads to Bonus Land. Cody will play for one of these:
BMW SUV
Hot convertible
Plain old green cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...or a rainbow of confetti! ($100,000!)
He has his grandmother, wife, and grandma-in-law in the audience!
He'll love that rainbow of lights on our Bonus Wheel as he gives it a spin. Will he love what in the H in CASH? And will he love this puzzle?

In the post-game chat, Pat reminds us that Wheel is a huge smash hit in the country (46 years, something like that?) and everywhere in the world! This includes Brazil, and we get to preview some of the local version Roda a Roda,
