5. SPIN
Player 1 begins ROUND 1 by pressing SPIN to spin the wheel! When the wheel stops
spinning, it will usually land on a dollar amount. Then use the 26 letter keyboard to type
in a consonant you believe fib the puzzle.
On the keyboard, consonants are colored PURPLE. Vowels are colored BLUE. As on
the television show, "Y" is considered a consonant.
The consonant you choose will display briefly in the lower right hand corner of the
letter board. If the consonant doesn't appear, press again a little harder.
If you guess a correct consonant, you will hear a little bell ring ancl the consonant will
show up in its proper spots in the puzzle. You will also be awarded with the clollar
amount spun on the wheel. Guessing conectly also allows you to KEEP youRTuRN.
when you guess a correct consonant, for instance a "G", all "G's" in the puzzle will
appear and you receive the full dollar amount for each "G". so if you spin the wheel ancl
the dollar amount was $400 and you guessed consonant "G" and there are two "G's" in
the puzzle, you are awarded $800 in addition to seeing the location of both "G's" in the
PtzAe.
WHEN YOU GUESS A CORRECT CONSONANT, YOU

You keep spinning and eaming money until:
I you choose a letter that is not in the puzzle.
I you inconectly try to sofue the puzzle.
I you spin the wheel and land on IOSE A TURN or BANKRIIPI.
I there are no consonants left in the puzzle.
If you try to spin and there are only vowels remaining in the puzzle, you'll hear a
buzzer sound and the wheel will not spin.
When you spin and land on BANKRUPI... you lose your turn and the money you
eamecl in that round.
When you spin and land on LOSE A IURN... you lose the tum'
When you spin and land on IRLE SPIN... if you guess a colrect consonant, you earn
an extra spin for that tum. The IREE SPIN must be used immediate!. So after guessing a
correct consonant, you keep spinning as normal, but if you guess an incorrect
consonant, you maintain the spin. You cannot save a FREE SPIN Rrr later in the gamel
(lfafter spinning a If,LE SPIN, your first guess is an incorrect consonant, you are NOT
awarded a IRIE SFIN. Also note, you cannot guess vowels when in the SPIN mode' If you
guess a vowel you will lose your tum. while in the sPIN mode the unit will only acknowl-
edge consonants.)

Once you have eamed $250 by spinning in a cunent round, you can press BUy to
buy a vowel. Each vowel costs $250. lf there is more than one of that vowel in the
prrzzle, it still only costs $250. For instance, if you press BUY and then grpe in vowel "A"
and there are three "A's" in the puzzle, it still only cosb you $250 not 97501
As with consonants, as soon as you type in a vowel, it appears in the lower right
hand comer, then you hear a bell and the vowel appears in the puzzle if you're conect.
When you choose a conect vowel, you KEEP the spin.
If you select an inconect vowel, you hear the BUZZER and the spin passes to the no<t
