The issue of solving after spinning

Bizarre. I'm sure a letter call is required on spinning now.

Let me ask, was that an official book?

I don't think it's official, but sometimes unofficial stuff such as ours can be a helpful source.

Now here are some other things to note, and this is from 1987 standards

When the contestants' backs are turned, the letters on the puzzle board are partially revealed (two sides of the trilon face the contestant area). Another time contestants have to turn their backs besides an in-round commercial is when a technical problem occurs. This is true even with the current puzzle board. When I went to see the show live in 2002 at Chicago's Navy Pier, one of the white squares turned blue. The contestants turned their back. Ultimately, the puzzle was scrapped. Unfortunately, this lady had the $10,000 prize with her. They restarted the round with a different puzzle. This time, when it counted, the lady did not get the $10,000 prize.

Trying to spin the Wheel lightly (like Alberto did on the first permanent hour-long show on "The Price is Right") is what the book referred to as "beating the house."

When only vowels remain, and all three contestants are unable to buy any vowels or solve the puzzle correctly, the round is restarted. I think this is when the locked-out exists where a contestant fails to solve the puzzle, he/she will not only lose his/her turn, but be locked out for the rest of the round.

A contestant is allowed to start a round by solving the puzzle, something I hope to do one day when I get on the show.

To solve a puzzle correctly, the exact answer, as the puzzle appears on the board must be given. Pronunciation of a puzzle will be judged correct if letters have not been added or omitted. This is why I agree with the judges who ruled SEVEN SWANS A SWIMMIN' incorrect. It's the show's rules.

If the contestant mispronounces the contestant of the puzzle, it will be judged incorrect if it's obvious the player did not know the puzzle. Picture-skay from last season is an example.

Here's a good one. What if an audience member yells out an answer? The round will restart. Although the book doesn't say what will happen to the audience member, I'll bet he/she is escorted out of the studio.

Another interesting rule. When Pat asks, "What is this... ?" The player can start with, "It's a... [puzzle answer]."

A tie with time running out would result in no bonus round and all three contestants coming back the next day.

If an incorrect guess is inadvertently accepted, the two other contestants would get $200 gift certificates.

The judges would probably accept that, considering that both have the same meaning. On Wheel, though, you have to read the puzzleboard like it is. Every letter counts.

I hear you guys. From what I've seen on several YouTube videos about this so-called "debacle", a lot of comments were saying that the lady was robbed, and this was "rigged" (apparently, those people have forgotten that rigging game shows is illegal).
