How to Play Wheel of Fortune Online

The classic TV format in your browser. The default wheel includes prize amounts ($100, $200, $500, $1000), Bankrupt, Lose a Turn, Free Spin, and Jackpot — exactly the structure of the original game show. Customize any segment by clicking it.

  1. 1
    Set up your puzzle — Write a word, phrase, or category on paper or a whiteboard. Keep it hidden from other players.
  2. 2
    Take turns spinning — Each player spins and calls out a consonant if they land on money. Vowels cost $250.
  3. 3
    Guess correctly to earn — Every time the letter appears in the puzzle, add the spin amount to your total score.
  4. 4
    Bankrupt = lose everything — Landing on Bankrupt wipes your current round earnings. All previously banked amounts are safe.
  5. 5
    Solve to win the round — The first player to solve the puzzle wins all their accumulated earnings from that round.

Why the Wheel Format Works

The visual drama of a spinning wheel slowing down — the pointer clicking through each segment — creates anticipation that no app, card, or static random number can replicate. That uncertain moment before the wheel stops is why Wheel of Fortune has been the most-watched game show in US history for over 40 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Wheel of Fortune game?

No — this is a free prize spinner inspired by the classic TV format. You provide the puzzle and the prizes. Our wheel handles the spin. It's perfect for classroom games, family nights, and custom prize drawings where you want the visual drama of a wheel.

Can I add my own prize amounts?

Yes. Click any segment label to rename it. Replace $100 with any prize, dare, activity, or challenge. The wheel adapts to whatever you put in it — office raffle prizes, birthday dares, or custom game show prizes.

How do I play in teams?

Split players into teams. Each team spins once per turn. If they land on a dollar amount, they guess a letter. Correct letter = earn the money. Bankrupt = lose all earnings. Highest total after all puzzles wins.

Can I use this for a school or classroom game?

Absolutely. Replace the dollar amounts with vocabulary words, math problems, history questions, or bonus points. Teachers use it for review games, spelling bees, and reward drawings. The spinning animation builds genuine anticipation — better than any flashcard.

How many prize options can I add?

Up to dozens of segments. The wheel scales automatically to fit your entries. For the classic Wheel of Fortune feel, 8 to 12 segments works best — enough variety without making the segments too small to read.

Can I save my custom wheel for next time?

Yes. Your custom prize configuration can be saved to your browser's local storage. It will reload automatically the next time you visit. Nothing is sent to a server — all data stays on your device.

Is the spin result random?

Yes. The wheel uses crypto.getRandomValues() — cryptographic hardware randomness, not Math.random(). Each spin is completely independent and impossible to predict or manipulate.
