Objective

Earn the most money by correctly guessing letters in a hidden phrase and solving the phrase. Only the player who solves the phrase keeps their earnings for that round. Play several rounds to determine the overall winner.

Setup

Preparation:
Prepare a wheel with different dollar amounts (or use a die to determine money values if a wheel is not available).
Prepare a list of phrases for the game. Write these phrases on a board with blank spaces representing each letter.

Players:
Play with 2 to 6 players.
Choose one player to be the host who manages the game (optional).

Rules

Starting the Game:
Decide the order of play by having players draw numbers or roll a die.
The first player spins the wheel (or rolls the die) to determine the dollar amount for that turn.

Guessing Letters:
After spinning the wheel, the player guesses a consonant.
If the consonant appears in the phrase, the player earns money based on the wheel’s value multiplied by the number of times the letter appears. For example, if the wheel lands on $100 and the phrase contains 3 T’s, the player earns $300.
The player continues guessing letters until they guess incorrectly or choose to solve the phrase.

Buying Vowels:
To guess a vowel, the player “buys” it for $250, deducted from their total earnings for that round.
If the vowel is in the phrase, it is revealed, and the player can continue their turn.

Solving the Phrase:
A player can attempt to solve the phrase during their turn.
If they guess the phrase correctly, they win the round and keep their earnings. If they guess incorrectly, their turn ends, and play passes to the next player.

Ending a Round:
The round ends when a player correctly solves the phrase.
Start a new round with a new phrase and continue playing until the predetermined number of rounds is completed.

Scoring

The player who correctly solves the phrase keeps their earnings from that round.
The player with the most money at the end of all rounds is the overall winner.

Tips for Playing

Strategy:
Guess common consonants first (e.g., R, S, T, L, N) to reveal more letters.

Vowel Use:
Buy vowels strategically to help figure out difficult phrases.

Risk and Reward:
Balance the risk of guessing a wrong letter with the potential reward of earning more money.

Safety and Fair Play

Ensure the spinning wheel or die is used fairly.
Play fair and respect other contestants to maintain a fun and enjoyable game environment.

Conclusion

Wheel of Fortune is a fun and exciting game that combines luck and word knowledge. Enjoy the challenge of guessing letters and solving phrases to earn the most money. May the best player win!
