Based loosely on the grade school game “Hang man”,  WHEEL OF FORTUNE skyrocketed in popularity in the 1980’s and has never touched down. The game consists of three contestants who spin a giant wheel with chances to win/lose cash and spin control. Land on a cash amount and pick a consonant to decipher the word puzzle blank. The more letters guessed correctly, the more you keep spinning and building cash. The top money maker plays a bonus round attempting to guess a phrase or name after picking 5 consonant clues.
