WoF Quickcap: 3/18/2024

During this 🦸Marvel Superheroes Week🦸, enter tonight’s bonus puzzle on the website for your chance to win during the Ultimate Super Heroes Giveaway.

First superhero fans this week…

Kelly Miller-Seacrest (she’s wearing some Spider-Man apparel): 4th grade ELA teacher for the last 25 years who has a school theme each year (one year, they were all superheroes so it ties in perfectly with the week) married for 18 years with two children from Mercersburg, PA

Nneka Van Gronigen: big fan of the Marvel universe (she thinks it’s really interesting how each part interacts with each other; she’s not a big movie person, but Marvel captivated her because of that and thinks Pat would look great in a cape) who’s setting up a gaming suite with monitors and a big icon of her as Iron Man from East Orange, NJ

Cairo Hunter: artist who’s influenced by Marvel (he’s been drawing since he was 3, has read comic books when he was a kid, and was in a comic store all the time; he went to art school for it, and from there it grew into his life) who paints and is also a professional tattoo artist married with five daughters ranging from 12 to 1 from Fontana, CA

FINAL SCORES
Cairo: $28,267 cash & cruise | Kelly: $8,500 | Nneka: $1K DEFEAT

GRAND TOTAL: $37,767
BANKRUPT TRASH: $7,850

Scary moments

-Late in the penalty-filled Round 1…

G A L A _ I _ S
G A D G _ T S
G I _ M _ S

Cairo doesn’t realize the C was a dud and blows the top word with GALACTICS. He gets it right the second time after the ladies FLUNK OUT with P and B.

–Kelly oddly decides to call a single P instead of an R or G pair after landing on $3,500 in the Mystery Round and solves immediately after.
