Gameplay Notes:
*Louanne immediately hit LOSE A TURN.
*Anne filled in almost the entire puzzle and racked up $5,150 (including $2,000 with a pair of H's), but when there was just the Q and U left, she BLEW her turn by guessing a P! UGH!!
Scores so far:
Louanne: $0
Anne: $0 (What was she thinking?)
Walt: $350
Pre-Round 2 Prize on the Wheel: a diamond tennis bracelet worth $6,000 (marked "DIAMONDS" on the Wheel)
