Some words about Wheel of Fortune

Since Season 8 (1990-91), some puzzle categories , in Wheel of Fortune Game, occasionally allow the solving player to answer a question for additional money (originally $500 in 1990, then $2,000 in 1995, now $3,000 since early 2000). Sometimes, the puzzle was the first part of a phrase or quotation and the player was asked to give the next line, Other times, a title or slogan was revealed and the player had to identify the author or product. Players were also asked to fill in a blank or identify a number associated with the puzzle. Originally, if the solving player did not win the bonus money, the other players in turn were given a chance. However, only the player who solves the puzzle is now eligible for the bonus. More recently, these puzzles consist of a series of clues about a person, place, thing, or event, which the player who solves the puzzle may identify for an additional bonus money.

Between 1992 and 1994, some puzzles would contain a set of specially designated ("red") letters which could be unscrambled to form another word or phrase. This was introduced during the 10th Anniversary season (1992-93) as a basis for home viewers to win cash or prizes by guessing the word and submitting a contest entry, and kept through Season 11 (1993-94) to provide studio players with additional winnings.

Returning Champions Wheel of Fortune Game

There have been no returning champions on the show since Season 16 (1998-99); each contestant has one episode to maximize his or her winnings. This was also the format during the first six seasons in syndication, in contrast to the daytime show.

When the show moved to CBS Television City for Season 7 (1989-90), a three-day returning champion rule was established. This remained in place until Season 14 (1996-97), when a "Friday Finals" format was adopted - the top three winners during the week would return to play on Friday, when additional incentives (including a Jackpot with value progressing from $10,000 instead of $5,000) were provided. The format was scrapped later in 1998.
