> [@SanDiegoTim](#): > > Is Pat Sajak doing Vanna? Hard to believe they’ve worked so long and traveled so much together that they haven’t. It’s just my opinion. But from everything I’ve heard and seen about Vanna, I believe she is an incredibly nasty person and at this time, she would no longer be as glamorous as she once was. It’s just my guess, but I would guess **NO.** ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Sesquipedalian There was briefly a category called “megaword” which consisted of single-word answers, such as “copacetic” (one I remember specifically), and then there’d be a bonus if you could use it correctly in a sentence. In this case, the player used it not necessarily incorrectly, but also not in a way that showed clearly that he did know the meaning. Maybe that kind of thing is why the category lasted so short a time. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wheel-of-fortune-question/714241.md?page=2)
