Learn How to Play Wheel of Fortune Online
Step1
Utilize the Sony Pictures website to play the Wheel of Fortune online game (see Resources below). This online version is updated regularly by Sony and features authentic touches to replicate the TV version.
Step2
Learn how to control various aspects of the game before beginning Wheel of Fortune. While the layout of the game is straightforward, it can take a few games to become proficient in game control.
Step3
Click the Power Meter to spin the prize wheel at your desired speed. The wheel must make 1 rotation in order for it to be a valid turn by the user.
Step4
Read the puzzle clue and choose a letter to find the solution. Consonants can be chosen freely, with each correct choice multiplied by the dollar amount represented on the wheel. For example, a user whose spin lands on $2,000 and selects a consonant that appears 4 times wins $8,000.
Step5
Purchase a vowel to complete the word puzzle. The cost of each vowel is taken from previously earned winnings.
Find Alternate Versions of Wheel of Fortune Online
Step1
Expand your gaming horizons by purchasing the deluxe addition of Wheel of Fortune online. This version of the game features hundreds of new puzzles and greater customization options for frequent players.
Step2
Search your local electronics store to find alternate CD-ROM versions of Wheel of Fortune. While the online version of the game is the most current, there are past versions available for PC and Mac users. These options may be less expensive than the deluxe edition on Sony Pictures' website.
