Can’t be the mobile game thing, they did that with Jackpot Magic Slots in S35.

I'm guessing either a themed Round 1 no-letter solve or a TTU one-lettering sweep, and I'm ready to be disappointed.
What hasn't happened? I know designated spinners have happened, but has there ever been a complete replacement of a player mid-game?
EDIT: The sentence directly before states, "Another popular aspect of the syndicated series is the various social media puzzles that go along with the show." Can't wait for them to shout-out some TikTok account!

Oh, that's true. There isn't known to be any no-letter main round solve in show history. There have been plenty of people who knew the puzzle with no letters, but called at least one before solving. There are also mixed recollections of someone solving either BABY or BABY BOY in the Bonus Round with no letters. One woman in the official WOF group on Facebook named Melisa Arnold claims that she was on in 1993 and solved BABY with no letters. Considering how predictable and repetitive the puzzles are, I could definitely see a main round no-letter solve happening, and the usual will happen: the media will talk about it, wonder if they cheated, Wheel gets a brief 15 minutes of fame that dies down quickly since that player will be gone the next day. but has there ever been a complete replacement of a player mid-game? William Shatner, 1997. |

That article confirms that $38K is becoming the minimum

TV Insider clarified a little bit:So... my updated guess is something like the Facebook Toss Up challenges, but with multiple-choice questions leading up to a special prize? Best case scenario is it's an actual digital scavenger hunt, worst case is pretty much Twitter Toss Up for some cookie-themed thingamajigs.

Maybe it's something like the April Fools thing they did in 2010?

Maybe they have three contestants so bad they finish the maingame with nothing but the bare minimum?

Another articleThat's enough that I could see it being what it is. It would fit the description of what's been revealed.

The first time the show has sponsored the Toss-Up? I saw T-Mobile sponsor the toss-up on tonights show.

^Seriously? Ugh, that just seems annoying.
This all makes me wonder in all of the years they’ve been on, what else *has yet* to happen. Seems like everything possible already has happened, with the only exception seeming like a 100k+ maingame win.

My guess is that the cash amount envelopes ($38-100K) aren't picked by the contestants in the bonus round until the third week of shows.

Well, here we go. Anyone notice anything unusual?
Reading the comments, I noticed someone mentioned it could be Vanna wearing the same dress twice, and honestly, that's the most plausible explanation I've heard so far. That fact that Vanna never wears the same dress twice is everywhere, so actually doing it would technically be noteworthy.
Or it could be the hourglass. Let's see...
