How does Wheel of Fortune work?

In this captivating game combining skill and chance, contestants spin a wheel to determine a cash value, then select a letter to solve a puzzle.

Each correct letter multiplies their potential earnings based on the wheel’s value. The stakes are high, as the wheel also harbours risks like ‘bankrupt’ and ‘lose a turn,’ which could erase all their accumulated winnings.

The game ups the ante with spectacular prizes that add to the contestants’ cash total, aiding their journey to the bonus round. The competition is fierce, with everything to play for, but only one contestant will seize the opportunity to significantly boost their cash pot and possibly walk away with a substantial sum.

Graham Norton said: “I’m beyond excited to be bringing such an iconic American show to a new British audience. My first ever TV job was a game show on ITV so this feels like coming full circle. You might even call it a wheel!”
