When the Mystery Wedge first premiered, its value was $500, and the non-Bankrupt wedge had a car or another big prize. When lifting the wedge, if the wedge has $10,000 behind it, it then acts as a normal prize wedge if the other side shows a Bankrupt, you know what happens either way, the other wedge becomes a normal cash wedge. When a mystery wedge is landed on and if the contestant in control calls the right letter, he/she has a choice to make: either take the money for the correct letter or lift the wedge to see what's on the other side. Behind one of them is a Bankrupt, and behind the other is $10,000 in cash. Mystery Wedge вЂ“ Introduced in Season 20, in Round 3 (Round 2 since October 17, 2011), two of the wedges are mystery wedges which are branded with question marks and a money amount.It was not a successful space, and so it was shelved quickly. Buy A Vowel вЂ“ In the pilot and early days of the series, one of the spaces, marked 'Buy A Vowel', gave the contestant who landed on it a chance to buy a vowel at its usual price of $250 provided he/she had enough money, but if it was landed on with a total less than $250 or if there were no more vowels in the puzzle, it acted as a Lose A Turn space.In addition to the monetary amounts and penalty spots, the wheel also consists of special spaces. This is also the case with ABC's Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, as the stars play by themselves for charity, with a minimum guarantee of $30,000. In the early days of celebrity appearances on the show, the celebrities played by themselves.

The contestants play for themselves and keep whatever cash and prizes they earn, while the celebrities play for charity (as they already make money as is) where each team's winnings are matched and donated in cash to a charity or charities of the celebrities' choices, with a minimum guarantee of $10,000. Most celebrity episodes pair a celebrity with a contestant. Since Season 20, any time Lose A Turn is hit, you see this. This was to make it able to be viewed in environments where noise or other factors would prevent hearing letters called like in bars or exercise gyms. NOTE: Starting in season 37 onward, whenever a letter is called, a graphic of it appears in the lower right corner of the screen and afterward it appears in the puzzle or if not in the puzzle, it gets crossed out. The first player to solve the puzzle wins the round and keeps all the money earned in that round with a minimum guarantee on each version. Since Season 27, there has always been at least two Bankrupts throughout the entire game. Previously in the first round, there was only one Bankrupt, and a second one in each subsequent round. If at any point the contestant in control picks a letter that is not in the puzzle, picks a letter that is already called, picks a vowel without buying it buying a vowel not in the puzzle buying a vowel already in the puzzle doesn't call a letter within 5 seconds, solves the puzzle incorrectly or if he/she hits Lose a Turn, that player loses his/her turn and control goes over the next player in line if the player hits 'Bankrupt', the player in control loses all his/her money and his/her turn and gives up prizes (if any were earned). Along the way he/she can buy a vowel that costs $250 ($200, later $100 on Bob Goen's version) each no matter how many there are or if it appears in the puzzle or not. If the letter is in the puzzle, he/she earns the amount times the number of appearances of that letter and continues his/her turn. When the wheel lands on a dollar amount, he/she then calls a letter. The player in control spins a large 24-space wheel which is fully calibrated with dollar amounts and penalty spaces (Bankrupt and Lose a Turn). In each round, a puzzle is revealed followed by a category to that puzzle.
