Advice/Strategies For My Episode!

Could we get a link on that reddit interview? I think we'd all have interest. Not only the experience itself but the site stuff, too.

Also, ditto on spreading the site address, cu, Guint, Mario, etc. have my permission to tell Sanam the site's new name; via PM, the rest of you will know around the US Labor Day. That way, she doesn't look like a jerk by giving a dead link.

My strategy? Note the wheel is 72 spaces, or 24*3. As some have said, see how spaces your spin goes, based on starting spot. For instance, if you start in the middle of the 2500, and your spin ends up in the same spot? A perfect '72' power. Left or right, one left or right? 71 or 73 power, respectively. The power itself refers to how many pegs your average wheel spin will be; typically average 3 spins to get a decent sample size- it's usually when I can tell any player's next spin value and/or if there was an edit or null cycle. This is huge for knowing whether ir not to spin again. With it, you can tell if you have enough power for that cardboard/sparkly cash or even a penalty (Bankrupt or LaT) space.

You know about avoiding common letters on cardboard, and if not someone else can explain this to you.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is if BGHO fails. It's a lot to think about in 10 seconds, but if BGHO fail think about words with Is, Fs, Cs, and possibly As. That seems to be the backup set.

I can not say it enough: study past puzzles! Most of all? Have fun. At worst, a free grand, at best a millionaire.

Side note to mods- kidding or not, Daniel's post was okay; I'd likely do half those myself.

How am I typing this? Kindle- had to see you all some time.

Since there's the outside chance I may not get the chance to post until after the taping, kill the hell out of that budget, girl!

Looked through that, and I noticed this rule:

"No mentioning of what company you work for unless it is a non profit, no logos on shirts etc."

WOFL is a non-profit site, isn't it?

What about something like this:

"I would like to give a shout out to all of the Wheel of Fortune Lovers out there for all of their support"

...or something like that. They wouldn't suspect that she is mentioning a website, but rather a group of fans that have been supporting her.

Subtle, elegant, looks generic but those who know will know...

Someone actually came up with a way? Dafuq?!

Love it. Good luck, Sanam!

I'm not gonna lie.... This is all so overwhelming! Honestly going through that damn compendium freaked me out. There are way too many puzzles. I work full time and I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day!

Not even close to memorizing the wheel.

I'm kind of freaking out.

Don't worry about memorizing the wheel or looking at the puzzles. Just stay calm and relax, you don't want to be too stressed out for the event.

Yes, Just be glad that I didn't say DO WORRY.

You're not allowed to aim the Wheel. You risk disqualification and you will be asked to spin the Wheel again without aiming (and the original will be edited out). The bbest you can do is just put a little more or less power into it so that you have a good idea of how far it will go based on your average spin power.
