For puzzles seen in Wheel's appearances in fiction. I personally limited my scope to instances that used the show's real set (though using any of the real staff was optional), and even then the below is by no means an exhaustive list.
227
Title (R1): THE PRISONER OF ZENDA
Thing (R3): SANTA FE TRAIN
[Notes: aired October 4, 1986. Set on "a special neighbors version" (also done with Family Feud) of the nighttime show. Jack Clark does the intro spiel.]
=====
The A-Team
Phrase (R3): ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR
*Bonus Round* Place: SOUTH AMERICA
[Notes: aired January 14, 1986. Set on two different daytime episodes, with the latter being a "Super Challenge Match"/"Championship Playoffs". Only known instance of the shopping part of the format being used, complete with proper music (Nightwalk and Frisco Disco) and Jack Clark describing the prizes.]
=====
Fresh Off the Boat
Before & After (R1): DENZEL WASHINGTON D.C.
Song Lyrics: OO OO OO I WANNA BE LIKE YOU OO OO
[Notes: aired October 3, 2017. Episode is set in 1997 as part of a Best Friends Week from Orlando, and is incredibly anachronistic (which seems to have been the case for all of the game shows used in Fresh Off plots).]
=====
Gimme A Break!
Quotation (R3): GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH
[Notes: aired February 16, 1984. Wheel episode, intended to be the daytime show since the $2,000 space is present, is touted as "Friends Day" by Pat.]
=====
L.A. Law
Phrase (R1): BALD IS BEAUTIFUL
[Notes: aired November 29, 1990. Set on the Goen version(!), with the Round 4 layout used for Round 1 (and, perhaps as a consequence, Bob doesn't do the opening spin or mention the top value before Round 1).]
=====
Lexus advert
(no category given): _APPY BIRT_DAY (ostensibly HAPPY BIRTHDAY; see notes)
[Notes: done in 2008 for the car company's then-new line of hybrid models, showing various places the letter H vacated in favor of the car models' tags. Neither Pat nor Vanna are present, with their positions blocked from view (by a staff member and a contestant, respectively).]
=====
Santa Barbara
(no category): EAT YOUR HEART OUT CASTILLO
Phrase (R1): PARTNERS IN CRIME
Thing (R3): COMMON DENOMINATOR
*Bonus Round* Thing: BLACKMAIL
[Notes: aired May 23 and 24, 1988. Set on the daytime show, with Charlie O'Donnell announcing and a Jackpot of $24,000. First puzzle was part of a dream sequence. The plotline ends after the Bonus Round, despite the contestant (one of the show's regular characters) being able to play at least one more game as the defending champ.]
=====
Ten at 10:00 (WDJT nightly newscast)
Ten at 10:00: FIRST ALERT WEATHER
[Notes: aired during the 2005-06 season. Notably uses the 1997 "Changing Keys" theme throughout.]
