Even if the show were willing to have some more game time and less random plugs and Spin IDs and graphics, I'm not sure how I'd like this. You're going through a decent number of puzzles - and honestly, the contestants they choose to have nowadays aren't the greatest puzzle solvers. They all can't be McClellan's. So you'd have people play at the first few levels, boring those who tune in to see MONEY MONEY MONEY.

I think Aaron is close to a good idea. I assume that by adding the 30-45 second puzzle-solving round, you're taking time away from the main game. (I'm okay with that.)
The problem with the levels is that it demeans the lower-level merchandise, and NO sponsor will pay for that! Try this: If you solve only one puzzle (and I'm assuming there will always be time for one to be completely revealed), you choose an envelope and proceed exactly the same as in the current bonus. If you solve two or more, though, you reveal the contents of the envelope and you have the choice to play for that or choose another envelope. You get an additional opportunity to change for each puzzle solved.
