Since I don't know and I don't recall: Were the questions in the Super Jeopardy round stacked like a normal round?
If so, why wouldn't you just try and clear the top row of boxes every time?
If not, please disregard this comment.

From what I've seen, they did increase by difficulty as one went down each category.
I think the mindset on behalf of each player was to pick their best category of the five and try to run it. Failing that, they could pick their second best, and I feel like I've seen at least one player with two strikes go for the horizontal win on the top row.
PYLdude:
I don’t disagree with the idea of just playing the top row, but then again, how do you know for certain you’ll get them all right? Especially if you have a weaker category as one of the five you’re given. If Opera or The Bible would be on that board, I’d have to be somewhat wary.
SuperMatch’s point is probably the best of those strategies; of the five, pick what you think is your strong suit and go from there.
One thing I would wonder is if they ever gave thought to giving a bonus for a diagonal line.

I happened to have enjoyed TTD 90 and TJW 90. The latter was where I was first introduced to the TJW franchise from reruns on USA., I watched Barry JW when I got GSN on my grandmother’s Primestar in 1997.
As for TTD, I remember as a toddler watching reruns of it on USA. But I remember watching TTD 90 when I was four years old on one of my local ABC affiliates. It came on after Match Game 1990 which was also the first time I was introduced to the franchise and that version is and always will be my favorite as a result. Watched TTD 90 again when it reran on USA and liked it then too.

I thought of an idea with dollar amounts on the board, which could be cooler and more apropos than 1 to 5. Going down each category, imagine it’s $200, $500, $1000, $1300 and $2000. You’d only win the money pegged to your five boxes in a row. Sweep a category, it’s $5000. If one’s ambitious, the bottom row is there for $10,000.
