They also introduced a new category last night PET PEEVE. Puzzle wasCracking your knuckles.
We'll see if it's actually a new category. It's probably a crossword like "clue," without having to actually play a crossword on the board. Similar to what UK Wheel does with some of their categories being a more specific hint than a general category. During the six shows for the New Year Week, the US show had a triple toss up with the category of "Resolutions"
If this means the death of the Crossword, I'm mostly all for it. I appreciated when Crossword debuted because I was desperate for a stale Wheel to do anything, but once it became clear that the category was here to dump off years of unused Clue puzzles not being played, because giving out an extra $2-3K for bonus categories was apparently a massive budget hit, I was a lot less interested since I liked Clue and the other bonus categories better. Also, some of them would be stretches and I just got tired of it being a constant presence 2-3 times a week almost always as the second puzzle.
