Just make sure to have the subject as "Wheelof Fortune", or I'll delete it thinking that it's junkmail. If you have an answer to give me, I'll give youcredit for it.Thanks to Justin Dolan for giving me two puzzle solutionsand not responding when I asked him how he would like tobe credited.Thanks to Sam Bennett for giving me some puzzle solutions.Thanks to JimmyS301@aol.com for some more puzzle solutions.Thanks to Jason for a puzzle solution.Thanks to Shelby for five answers.Thanks to Dez for two solutions.Thanks to Joe H. for a lot of solutions.Thanks to Seavey for seven puzzle solutions.Thanks to John Lovett for three puzzle solutions.002-How to Play-----------------------------------------------------------Press Start. Select the number of players, which is one,two, or three.If you choose two or one players, you get to choose if thecomputer will fill in as many players as possible so inall, there will be three players. If you choose threecharacters, this does not happen.You then choose how good the computer players will be. Ifyou choose 1, the computer players are stupid and chooseletters like X, which rarely show up in the Englishlanguage. If you choose 2, the computer player will playlike you'd expect a normal person to play. If you choose3, the computer player plays like a genius who has goodluck (or someone who cheated and has the answers ahead oftime).Anyway, after this you enter in the names of characters whoare not computer characters. The computer characters areautomatically named, sometimes they are strange names(Timbo?). You can use the arrow to go back a letter, andthe empty space to make a space.You then start round one. You see the board, with a bunchof spaces on it. You also see the category under which theanswer falls (person, phrase, thing, etc.). You have threemoves, spin, vowel, and solve. Choose one before time runsout.If you choose spin, you spin the wheel of fortune. Choosehow much strength to use, and you spin it. The wheel willland on one of four things, bankrupt, miss turn, free spin,and a number.If you get a number, you can then choose a letter, one thatisn't any of the letters a, e, i, o, and u. If that letteris part of the answer, you then get to see where the letteris on the board. For every time that letter appears, youget a certain dollar amount (the number of dollars is thenumber the wheel landed on. You then take another turn.If that letter isn't on the board, your turn is up.If you get bankrupt, your turn is automatically over, andall of your money disappears. Oh, no!If you get miss turn, your turn is over.If you get free spin, whenever your turn ends, you get theoption of using the free spin to continue the turn. Thishappens at the end of all your turns from then on, untilyou use the free spin.Besides spin, you can vowel. When you do this, you get tochoose a vowel (a, e, i, o, and u). If the vowel is on theboard, all of the places where that vowel appears is shown.It costs 250 dollars to choose vowel, no matter what. Whenit's done, you continue your turn. Cool part of the game:when only vowels are left on the board, you are informed ofthis.Besides vowel and spin, you can choose solve. You get toput letters in the blank spaces on the answer on the board.If you put the correct letters in so you get the correctanswer, the round is over. If not, your turn ends. Once a player's turn is up, it is the next player's turn.Once someone solves the puzzle (or all the letters are puton the board), it is the next round. The person who endsthe round gets to keep his or her money in his or herrespective total box.The first two rounds are exactly the same (except the roundnumber is the number of the player who spins first in thatround). Round three is the speed-up round. At the startof the round, the wheel spins. The number it lands on isthe set dollar amount for the whole round, meaning you canonly get that amount of money for each letter.You then get to choose a letter (any letter). If it is onthe board, you can then choose to solve the puzzle. Ifnot, it is the next person's turn.At the end of the third round, the player with the highestdollar amount in the total box gets to continue. They makeit to the bonus round. If you win the bonus round, you geta fantastic prize!If you like the prize offered, choose no, but if you want anew one, choose yes (seems weird, but technically thequestion is "do you want a different prize"?).In the bonus round, choose five consonants (letters thatare not vowels). Then choose a vowel. If any of those sixletters are on the board, they appear. You then have tosolve the puzzle, and if you solve it, you win the prize.Yay!Note: The prizes and money you win in this game will notactually come to you. This is just a game, not reality.003-Answers-----------------------------------------------------------These are all the puzzle solutions I have so far.
