The “Things” might not actually be plural but instead be something AND something else. Be careful when the puzzle contains a three-letter word between two others, though. The category “Things” usually has an S to pluralize the solution. “What Are You Doing?”-frequently the category of the all-important prize puzzle-always has a word ending in –ING, like “OPENING THE VAULT” So start with the N, follow with the G, buy the I, and then go through the list as normal. Some puzzle categories have different letter configurations that should prioritize other letters. Contestants can continue spinning the wheel until they miss a letter or spin a Bankrupt or Lose a Turn. Each consonant is worth the cash value of the wedge the wheel lands on. In the main game, contestants have three options: spin the wheel and call a consonant, buy a vowel for $250, or solve the puzzle. You have to be careful-"Wheel of Fortune" requires you to answer almost immediately after ringing in-but going a split second early ensures that you have first shot on what will (hopefully) be an obvious puzzle. Ringing in immediately following a letter-but before you actually know the answer-might be smart. Here, the interaction resembles what game theorists call a duel. However, occasionally the tossup reaches a point where almost all letters are on the board. The tossups tend to reward better puzzle solvers, not clever strategists. The board automatically reveals letters one by one until a player rings in with the correct solution. Each episode of “Wheel of Fortune” has three tossup puzzles, worth $1,000, $2,000, and $3,000.
