On January 1. 4, 1. Wheel moved back to NBC and aired on that network until it was cancelled on September 2. The popularity of the daytime series led to a nightly syndicated edition being developed.

The syndicated series 3. September 1. 1, 2. GameplayeditMain gameedit. The template for round one in the syndicated versions 3. The core game is based on Hangman. Each round has a category and a blank word puzzle, with each blank representing a letter in the answer, and punctuation revealed as needed. Most puzzles are straightforward figures of speech that fit within a mostly static list of categories, and this list has evolved over the course of the series. Crossword puzzles were added to the rotation in 2. In such rounds, a clue bonding the words in the puzzle is given instead of a traditional category, and contestants win by solving all the words in the crossword. The titular Wheel of Fortune is a roulette style wheel mechanism with 2. The wheel also features two Bankrupt wedges and one Lose a Turn, both of which forfeit the contestants turn, with the former also eliminating any cash or prizes the contestant has accumulated within the round. Each game features three contestants, or occasionally, three two contestant teams positioned behind a single scoreboard with its own flipper. The left scoreboard from the viewers perspective is colored red, the center yellow, and the right blue, with the contestants positions determined by a random selection prior to taping. A contestant spins the wheel to determine a dollar value and guess a consonant. Calling a correct letter earns the value before the corresponding flipper, multiplied by the number of times that the letter appears in the puzzle. Calling a correct letter keeps the wheel in the contestants control, allowing the contestant to spin again, buy a vowel for a flat rate of 2. Contestants may continue to buy vowels so long as they have enough money to keep doing so, until all of the vowels in the puzzle have been revealed. Control passes to the next contestant clockwise if the wheel lands on Lose a Turn or Bankrupt, if the contestant calls a letter that is not in the puzzle, calls a letter that has already been called in that round, fails to call a letter within five seconds of the wheel stopping, or attempts unsuccessfully to solve the puzzle. The only exception is the Free Play wedge, on which the contestant may call a consonant for 5. In the first three rounds, the wheel contains a Wild Card and a Gift Tag, while two Car tags are present in rounds two and three only except on episodes with two player teams. The Wild Card may be used to call an additional consonant after any turn for the amount that the contestant has just spun or taken to the bonus round to call an extra consonant there. The Gift Tag offers either a 1,0. Car tags award a car if the contestant wins the rounds in which he or she claims both. Unlike the other tags, the Car tags are replaced in subsequent rounds unless the car is won. A special wedge in the first two rounds awards a prize which is described by the announcer if won. All of the tags and the prize wedge are located over the 5. The first three rounds also contain a special wedge which, if won and taken to the bonus round, offers an opportunity to play that round for 1,0. A contestant must solve the puzzle in order to keep any cash, prizes, or extras accumulated during that round except for the Wild Card, which is kept until the contestant either loses it to Bankrupt or uses it. Bankrupt does not affect score from previous rounds, but it does take away the Wild Card, individual Car tags, andor million dollar wedge if any was claimed in a previous round. Contestants who solve a round for less than 1,0. Each game also features three toss up puzzles, which reveal the puzzle one random letter at a time, and award cash to whoever rings in with the right answer. The first determines who is interviewed first by the host, the second determines who starts round 1, and the third determines who starts round 4. Respectively, the toss ups are valued at 1,0. In addition to these, each game has a minimum of four rounds, with more played if time permits. GW2 World Boss Timer by thatshaman.
