Wheel of Fortune is a 1988 puzzle game for the NES based on the iconic television game show. One to three players compete to solve word puzzles by spinning the big wheel, guessing consonants, and buying vowels to win virtual cash and prizes.
How to play
Your objective is to accumulate the most money by correctly guessing the hidden phrases. On your turn, you can spin the wheel, buy a vowel, or attempt to solve the puzzle. For the NES, use the D-pad to navigate the on-screen keyboard and menu options, and press the A or B button to confirm your selection. In the browser, the D-pad maps to the arrow keys, with Z and X acting as the A and B buttons.
Tips
- Pay attention to the letters your opponents guess to avoid repeating their mistakes and wasting your turn.
- Buying vowels early in a round helps reveal the structure of the words before risking a spin that could land on Bankrupt or Lose a Turn.
