Tuesday’s clue was the hardest, obviously. Most players seem to have a decent handle on African capitals but mastering the rivers, gulfs and bights over there is a bit more difficult. It’s a toss-up for the easiest between Wednesday and Thursday.

Last week, we had all one-day champs. This week we had one champ all week and that was MacKenzie Jones. She defeated returning champ Terry Heard Jr. on Monday and everyone else who showed up as well for a 5-day total of $130,803. She did have a couple of notable challengers: Sam Leon on Wednesday and Kimberly Brazier on Friday.
