Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main objective of the game?
The goal is to solve word puzzles by guessing letters and spinning the wheel to earn points. Each round brings a new phrase to uncover.
How does the wheel work?
The wheel is spun to land on a segment that shows a point value or a special action. Guessing a correct letter multiplies that value by the number of times the letter appears in the puzzle.
Can I choose the puzzle category?
No, the game typically assigns a theme or category for each round. But the category is shown, so you can use it to narrow down possible phrases.
What happens if I get a Bankrupt wedge?
If you land on Bankrupt, you lose all points accumulated so far in that round. It's a risky part of the game, so you need to decide when to take chances.
Is there a time limit for solving?
Yes, there is a timer for each round. If time runs out before you solve the puzzle, you lose that round, but you can try again.
How can I earn more points?
The best way is to spin the wheel to get high-value wedges, then guess letters that appear multiple times. Also, solving the puzzle early may give you bonus points.
