On the latest episode of “Wheel of Fortune,” which aired on May 29, 2024, viewers witnessed another thrilling game where contestants vied for cash and prizes by solving word puzzles. The competitors for the evening were Larry Brown, Jr., Lee Mack, and Laryn, with Larry ultimately taking the win. The episode featured a variety of puzzle categories, ranging from phrases and events to showbiz and crossword clues.
The Bonus Round
In the highly anticipated Bonus Round, the category was a Phrase, with the puzzle being “I’M JUST SHOWING OFF.” Despite having several letters revealed, including the given RSTLNE, Larry was unable to solve the puzzle. This resulted in a loss in the Bonus Round, where he missed out on a $100,000 prize.
Key Highlights
The episode kicked off with the $1,000 Toss Up, where Larry successfully solved “MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.” The momentum continued with Laryn clinching the $2,000 Toss Up with the answer “PRAIRIE DOGS.” During the first round, which focused on Showbiz, Larry secured a significant lead by solving “AND THE OSCAR GOES TO EMMA STONE,” adding $12,450 to his total. The subsequent rounds featured creative crossword and food & drink themes, with Larry again showing strong gameplay. The Triple Toss Ups revolved around different types of ‘Nights,’ adding a dynamic twist to the game’s pace.
The competition intensified in the final segments of the show. Lee Mack and Larry were particularly competitive in the Prize Puzzle round, which featured the answer “BUTTERSCOTCH BROWNIES.” Lee Mack managed to secure a trip along with his puzzle winnings, bringing a close race against Larry.
