PLAY

The 3 players take turns trying to solve the puzzle. There are 3 rounds, so 3 puzzles will have to be solved and the player with the most money will go on to the winner’s round.

When it’s your turn to play, the computer will ask you if you want to spin the wheel. At this moment, if you have $250 or more, you will be able to enter a vowel which, by the way, cost $50 each. To spin press SPACEBAR. The wheel will spin and stop on a dollar amount, then select a letter. If the letter you selected is not in the puzzle, you lose your turn. If it is in the puzzle, you will be awarded the dollar amount for each letter. You will then have 20 seconds to solve the puzzle, but be sure you know the answer or you lose your turn! If you do not wish to solve the puzzle, just press ENTER.

If there is no more consonants left you MUST solve the puzzle.

The overall winner of the 3 rounds will go to the winner’s round. In this round, you are asked to enter 6 letters; 5 consonants and a vowel. The computer will then uncover the letters chosen in the puzzle. You will have 40 seconds to slove that puzzle and win the big prize! Good luck!
