Airdate: April 16, 1991

From Hollywood, it's America's most watched game show!

Over $188,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Stella Hall: Likes bridge and has done word processing/editing, is from Bellevue, WA
Bill Baldessari: Married, is an administrator at a major Wall Street bank, Parlin, NJ
Scott Holmes (Returning with a 1-day total of $29,720)

(The blanks in the opening do not match the first puzzle.)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, but you must face some puzzles like this one:

Round 1

For the daredevil inside, you might just hit the $2,500 space!

Per our little system, we have another prize. It's a Curtis Mathes TV entertainment center (labeled VIDEO) worth $12,500.

And as you know, we could surprise you with a $5,000 space!

$100		$500
$400: P (DUD!)	$500: F (DUD!)	$300: L (DUD!)
$100		$500

(Scott tried to change from E to I, but it was too late.)

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

If we keep dudding, we'll run out of time quickly. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth...$300 a piece.

Stella: D ($400)

PHRASE

Stella solves IN THE DARK.

Stella	Bill	Scott
$4,000	$1,550

Scott leaves with the $29,720 he won previously.

BONUS ROUND:

What could Stella (!) win in Bonus Land? Maybe...
Cadillac (over $35,000)
Trip to France (over $19,000)
Precious metals (over $30,000)
Ring (over $27,000)
Good ol' American cash ($25,000)

Now after looking, Stella picks the L. What do we find on the board?

Bonus Puzzle

She is lead to CDMA:

THING

And she can't wait! She instantly solves LONDON FOG...

...to snatch the France trip worth $19,200! She's currently up to $23,200, and she could win more next time!

The Wheel and Jeopardy! video games are promoted before the post-game, where Pat and Vanna promote the upcoming Teen Week.
