The letters she selects to start this solution are a $600 R & A for awful.

Jerod has lit two $300 R's, four A's, a $350 T, a $900 S set & triple E's, but he's then shot down by that same natural Bankrupt to have $1,350 wiped off his board. On Erin's road second are a $600 H but then Lose a Turn. Third for Jeannetta are a $3.5K W, double I's but then the MDW's left-side Bankrupt burns up $3,250. Now starting from scratch again, Jerod next lights a couple M's for a thou & the same number of G's to multiply the $1K by eight, but he gets stopped by a C call while on the same 1/2 KIA. After two top dollar P's by Erin, a $400 N & an O, the same non-MDW Bankrupt stops by to flush away her plate & $7,750; that's also her second of the match. That opens the door for Jeannetta...
