Play perfectly, win less?

No, we don’t. I knew what the question was by using my noodle and properly interpreting context clues.

This is a bit of a stretch but for Chuck Henry's Now You See It, during the championship round of play, if one player played perfectly and won each of the first four category board rounds, they would have won with $1,400 since they were worth $200, $300, $400, $500 and the final one if needed was $600, with $1,000 needed to win. If the first player scored on all 4 of the first rounds they'd end up with $1,400 vs. if they won the first three, lost the fourth board, and won the final board which would mean $1,500.

Miss four times then win on your final go at it, win $25,000 plus up to $3,600 in consolation money.

Combining these two thoughts for the Super Password main game: win the first three puzzles, you get $600. Win puzzles 1, 2 and 4 and you get $700. Win puzzles 1, 3 and 4 and you get $800.
The Ca$hword opens a whole 'nother bag of worms with that last scenario.

On Classic Concentration, contestants could stay until they won the car, so someone could throw the bonus game and rack up more prizes in the main game.

I don't remember his name, but I do recall there being a contestant who intentionally lost the car game because he wanted more prizes. I remember thinking it was silly but different strokes.
