![]() In the first three rounds, the wheel contains two special tokens which are claimed by calling a correct letter. Control passes to the next contestant clockwise if the contestant lands on Lose a Turn or Bankrupt, calls a letter not in the puzzle, calls a letter already called in that round, fails to call a letter, or attempts unsuccessfully to solve the puzzle. Doing so also allows the contestant to spin again, buy a vowel for a flat rate of $250 (until no more remain in the puzzle), or attempt to solve the puzzle. Landing on a dollar amount and calling a correct letter results in the hostess revealing every instance of that letter it also awards the value of the spin, multiplied by the number of times the letter appears in the puzzle. ![]() Contestants in control spin the wheel to determine a dollar value, then guess a consonant. Most matches consist of three contestants, although some variants feature three teams of two people each. Landing on either forfeits the contestant's turn, with the Bankrupt wedge also eliminating any cash or prizes the contestant has accumulated within the round. The wheel also features two Bankrupt wedges and one Lose a Turn wedge. An $850 wedge was added in 2021, replacing the Free Play that was removed the same year. Most wedges are labeled with dollar amounts ranging from $500 to $900 and there is also a top dollar value wedge adorned with sequins: $2,500 in round 1, $3,500 in rounds 2 and 3, and $5,000 for round 4 and any subsequent rounds. The titular Wheel of Fortune is a roulette-style wheel with 24 wedges, each of which is divided into thirds. Contestants win by solving all the words in the crossword by saying them in any order, as long as all of the words are said without any repetition or additional words. In such rounds, the host gives a clue bonding the words in the puzzle instead of a category. Crossword puzzles were added to the rotation in 2016. At the start of each round, the host reveals the category, which remains on the bottom of the viewer's screen for the duration of the round. In each round, three players compete to be the first to guess all of the unknown words in a word puzzle, which is displayed visually on a board of 52 touch monitors.
