Hello,
I am a new member to the board. I got my letter a few weeks ago!!!! So exciting. Kathy (redhairedchick) and I attended the Wheelmobile event in Jacksonville together and we both made it!! I'm trying to get a lot of practice in while I wait. I have the iPad app, watch the show every night (obviously lol), watch classics on YouTube, play some of the old pc/c64 versions, do crosswords and those types of things..... I'd like to hear what some of you suggest in terms of practicing. I especially want to get better at Toss-Ups and that of course seems to be the most difficult to practice. Anyone have some advice on how to practice these? I've read through some of the alum recaps and they're always helpful. I would love to hear from you, please! Thanks!

Welcome aboard! If it's specific game strategies you're looking for (independent of the puzzles, because it sounds like you've got that down pat already), I recommend taking a look at my "Zen of Wheel of Fortune" thread. Not just game strategies, really, but just keeping calm while on stage in general. The toss-up buzzer itself is similar to one of those clicky pens--take one and start clicking the button to get a feel for the motion. Anything else, feel free to ask us!

Hi Adam! You know what is really great, the Times-Union has a Hang-Man game on-line -- you might want to try that as well!
