Players continue to have control of the game until they:Ĭall a letter that is not in the puzzle. Originally, players could only buy a vowel after hitting the appropriate space on the wheel, but people who spun the wedge either didn't have the money, or didn't want to buy a vowel, so they yanked the 'BUY a VOWEL' space and was replaced by the contestants just paying $250 to call a vowel regardless of how many times it appeared. (So $350 is spun, and four T's are in the puzzle: $1,400 is put in that player's bank). If that letter is in the puzzle, the payoff is spin times frequency of letter in puzzle. If they elect to spin, and get money they call a consonant. Three contestants play hangman for big money.Ĭontestants take turns either spinning, buying vowels, or attempting to solve the puzzle. PREMISE: You're kidding, right? Okay, I'm done laughing now. Host: Chuck Woolery, Pat Sajak, Rolf Benirshke, Bob Goen
