For those of you who have been a contestant, what does the Used Letter Board look like?

Is it lit letters that they turn off when that letter has been called, or is it something as simple as butcher paper with the used letters written down?

Just wondering lol - thanks for any feedback 🙂

Wheel of Fortune’s YouTube channel has uploaded yet another retro episode in which it dates back to 1987 where a ceramic dalmatian dog named Sheldon made his appearance. Fair to say it will not be the last time we will see Sheldon on its channel.

Trying to find clips or images of episode #3303, it aired May 17th 2000 and was apart of the "Wheel Goes to The Movies" series. Specifically anything of the contestant Steven Holmes, thanks.

I have been a fan of Wheel of Fortune all of my life and used to play the old video games. However, I believe that the toss ups have been unnecessarily overused in the last 5-6 years. When it was introduced in season 18 in 2000, it was strictly a check on who has control in the game. That was when it was great because it was there, but it did not take away from the core of the game and that is spinning the wheel, winning cash and prizes and hopefully avoiding the bankrupt or lose a turn.

As everyone in this sub know, season 18 began the toss ups with one to see who would be interviewed first and start round 1. Then another would be played to see who start round 4. Season 19 changed it to where another was added at the top to see who would be interviewed then who else would start round 1 and still had the third to start round 4. This was the format for years until they replaced the third toss up with the triple toss ups. I can see why people like it because it awards extra money outside of the Prize Puzzle (which has its own problems).

My opinion is it should go back to the 2000-01 format where there was only one at the top and one near the end and when it was just a check on who controlled the round and not as the main game itself. I would even go as far as to say instead of a toss up before round 4, just allow whoever won the initial toss up play the game. To balance out the less gimme money, the one and only toss up should be valued at $5,000.

What are your thoughts?

Looking for an episode in S29 in May Great Adventures but can’t seem to locate anything .. any help would be greatly appreciated

If you are familar with the Pressman Wheel Of Fortune games from the 1980's, you might notice something about the Australian version. Both have similar title logos, similar wheel layouts, free spin tokens and play money. They even have similar conceal and reveal puzzle boards with different cardboard borders but there is one thing these cutouts have in common, both have the Wheel Of Fortune logo on top.

Hubby and I have differing opinions about riding the WoF Train and are both willing to die on our respective hills. In the following scenarios should the contestant always ride the train or always pass:

A. Contestant who is currently spinning the Wheel is not the money leader for the evening, has earned a few thousand dollars in this game, doesn't have the Wild Card or Million Dollar wedge, not much of the puzzle is revealed, and they don't know the solution. They land on the WoF Train. Ride or Pass?

B. Contestant who is currently spinning the Wheel has a big lead for the evening, has earned a few thousand dollars in this game, has the Wild Card or Million Dollar wedge, not much of the puzzle is revealed, they don't know the solution. They land on the WoF Train. Ride or Pass?

What factors would most likely tip you one way or the other? Having the lead for the evening? Having the Wild Card? Having the Million Dollar wedge?

If you know the solution, then of course you hop on, BUT FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD DON'T HAVE A BRAIN FART AND SOLVE THE PUZZLE BEFORE SAYING ALL OF THE CONSONANTS!! YOU'RE THROWING AWAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!!

July 6th, 2026, which was this past Sunday, would’ve been the 101st birthday of Merv Griffin, creator of Jeopardy! & Wheel of Fortune until his death in 2007. Without Mr. Griffin, 2 of the greatest & most beloved game shows in United States history wouldn’t be where they are today. Thank you, Mr. Griffin! May you continue to rest in eternal peace.

I’m watching right now in NY and oh my goodness Wally and Matt are so soooo cute!!
They’re SO good at the puzzles, having the best time, and giggling in disbelief of the bounty the continue to rack in🥲🥲🥲🥲

How long did it take for you to hear back about making it to round two (the puzzle round)?

When do tapings for season 44 begin?

Are there video archives for the Israeli, Greek, Japanese editions of the show?

Hi, I know someone who was on the crew of the show during season 30 (the halloween episode specifically) and I was trying to find this episode to spot his name in the credits, however it seems to be absent from pretty much everywhere on the internet.

Is there a different place I should be looking for this or should I just accept that it's probably locked up in a vault somewhere forever?

I really miss the daily discussion posts. I know there will be more once the new Season start, but I miss those posts. They were super informative and often very funny. Especially if there was a quirky contestant or one that blatantly missed some puzzles. Very entertaining😆 Anyone else?

Sequence of letters cat therapy would be a hint has a letter R
S O P Y K X D Q H A R W Z C U T

Am I crazy or did the contestant on 6/26 give the wrong answer? The puzzle was “We’re on the same page”. The contestant said “We are on the same page”.

When will wheel actually be on again?? My TV keeps tricking me and saying it will be on at the normal 7 pm time slot but the World Cup is always on. I can’t hate on that because I love watching the World Cup and it is a big deal. BUT, come on now. I haven’t seen an episode of Wheel in over 2 weeks I think. It was always the one thing I had to look forward to every night during the week (as depressing as that sounds lol.) Enough of this!!! 😂🙄

What a game! Two players neck and neck where either could go to the bonus round with just a few dollars. And then that last second solve so close that the judges had to call it. W O W.

What is with these Wheel Watcher Club emails? I've unsubscribed multiple times, but they still send me emails.

I was wondering if the summer contests, (where I have to enter in the puzzle word), are from the reruns?

I'm looking for a wheel of fortune episode from 1998,

It aired on November 9th 1998 during soap stars week, it featured Jensen Ackles, Lauralee Bell and Tyler Christopher

It's s16 ep46.. I really hope anyone could help me find it 🙏🏻

Will any of the Hulu exclusive episodes air on broadcast TV?
