‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Fans Share Tips To Avoid Dreaded First Letter Syndrome

As much as Wheel Of Fortune is all about watching the live episodes and seeing if players have what it takes to win the final puzzle and the prize at the end, a big part of the game revolves around fans discussing strategy and various aspects of gameplay. Recently, viewers discussed the dreaded first letter syndrome.
Wheel Of Fortune Fans Regularly Go Beyond The Game Show
While sitting down and watching Wheel Of Fortune episodes is a tradition for many families, watching the episodes isn’t the only way that the vast fanbase connects with the game and all that it entails. When it comes to game show fans that are active on social media, a big part of all of that is discussing strategy online with other fans.
This is one of many ways that Wheel Of Fortune fans can expand their fandom and broaden their understanding of the actual game itself. In this regard, it also maintains a sense of community and camaraderie that extends beyond as well. So, there are a lot of upsides to this.”

Fans Discuss First Letter Syndrome
In recent Wheel Of Fortune fan discussion online, the topic came around to the point in the game where players have the chance to call out one letter each and then try to solve the puzzle until someone gets it correct. In these instances, each correct appearance of the letter is often worth a lot of money.
The best strategy, in this case is not always to call out the first letter that comes to mind, but rather, to call out the letter that appears most frequently in the puzzle, as each appearance of that letter nets players the locked-in monetary value. However, as often happens, players on the show jump the gun and call out the first letter that they can think of instead of the letter that could net them the most money.

Wheel Of Fortune Fans Say It’s Easier To Think Of Strategy When You’re Sitting At Home On Your Couch
Of course, it’s one thing for Wheel Of Fortune fans online to dissect show clips and discuss what they would do differently. However, things are completely different when you’re live on the game show set, with only a split second to make decisions.
- One commenter said: “‘I’m sure it’s not easy to mentally solve the puzzle, remember this tip, figure out which letter appears the most, all while listening for your cue and to say your letter and solve at the right time.”
- A second commenter agreed, adding: “Exactly. Real easy to say what you would do sitting in your living room. For some people, the damn audition in the hotel conference room is too much pressure. Ask me how I know.”
- A third person said: “There are so many times where you know they know the answer and they pick a letter that is in there once.”
