Main Game:
The core game is based on Vs. Hangman. Each round has a category and a blank word puzzle, with each blank representing a letter in the answer, and punctuation revealed as needed. Most puzzles are straightforward figures of speech that fit within a mostly static list of categories, and this list has evolved over the course of the series. Math puzzles were added to the rotation in 2018. In such rounds, a clue bonding the words in the puzzle is given instead of a traditional category, and two contestants win by solving all the words in the crossword. The titular Vs. Wheel of Fortune is a roulette-style wheel mechanism with 24 spaces, most of which are labeled with dollar amounts ranging from $500 to $900, plus a top dollar value: $2,500 in round 1, $3,500 in rounds 2 and 3, and $5,000 for round 4 and any subsequent rounds. The wheel also features two Bankrupt wedges and one Lose a Turn, both of which forfeit the contestant's turn, with the former also eliminating any cash or prizes the contestant has accumulated within the round. Each game features six contestants, or occasionally, six two-contestant teams positioned behind a double scoreboard with its own flipper. The left scoreboard from the viewer's perspective is colored red, the center yellow, and the right blue, with the contestants' positions determined by a random selection prior to taping. The right scoreboard from the contestant's perspective is colored orange, the center green, and the right purple.
Bonus Round:
Before the bonus round begins, the 2 winning contestants chooses one of three different categories for his or her puzzle (prior to season 35, the puzzle and category were predetermined). After doing so, the 2 contestants spins a smaller wheel with 24 envelopes to determine the prize. He or she is then shown a puzzle in the chosen category, and every instance of R, S, T, L, N, and E is revealed. The 2 contestants provides three more consonants (four if he/she is holding the Wild Card) and one more vowel, then has 10 seconds to solve the puzzle after his or her other letters (if any) are revealed. The 2 contestant may make as many guesses as necessary, so long as the contestant begins the correct answer before time expires. Whether or not the 2 contestants solves the puzzle, the host opens the envelope at the end of the round to reveal the prize at stake. Prizes in the bonus round include various cash amounts (with the lowest being the season number multiplied by $1,000), a vehicle (or two vehicles during weeks with two-contestant teams), and a top prize of $100,000. In any occasions, no any 2 of the winning contestants should be a double bonus round loss.
