Apparently, two different episodes (both reruns) were distributed to stations, depending on market and station owner. Most stations owned by Sinclair aired episode #S-8346 from Hawaiian Vacation week (originally aired 3/23/26, top picture), and most other stations aired episode #S-8311 from South of the Equator week (originally aired 2/2/26, bottom picture).

WABC-TV New York and ABC stations in the West Coast are not airing WOF tonight due to NBA Finals. KRQE 13 in Albuquerque, NM accidentally aired #S-8035 (originally aired 10/11/24) tonight, which was meant to be aired last Saturday, but this was likely an isolated error.

Now that the season has officially come to an end, what were your favorite highlights from the season? Whether it be solves, puzzles, themes, contestants, or just moments in general!

This is Day 5 of "Drink in America Presented by Coca-Cola", and also the Season 43 Finale. What are your thoughts?

I interviewed by myself last week after one guy tried to ask to be a "fan favorite" on his own suggestion lol. The interviewer asked me so much about myself and we laughed a lot. We had a great interaction. He said he would put in a good word for me and to start studying. Has anyone else experienced this?

This is Day 4 of "Drink in America Presented by Coca-Cola". What are your thoughts?

This is Day 3 of "Drink in America Presented by Coca-Cola". What are your thoughts?

Season Finale Week! This is Day 1 of the "Drink in America Presented by Coca-Cola" Week. What are your thoughts?

This is Day 2 of "Drink in America Presented by Coca-Cola". What are your thoughts?

WABC 7 in New York will not be airing tonight’s episode. Instead, they will be airing pregame for the NBA Finals because the Knicks are in it. This may also be the case on Friday, the WOF season finale, for Game 2, but not confirmed yet.

There is a rapidly growing trend in broadcasting where local TV stations are quick to drop Wheel of Fortune for a day (rarely Jeopardy! or other shows) for an opportunity to hype a local sports team. Just yesterday, WTVD 11, the ABC in Raleigh, NC, dumped WOF for a pregame special for the Stanley Cup Final because the Carolina Hurricanes are in it. And during the NBA Playoffs, when the Detroit Pistons made it in, WDIV 4 aired a pregame special in Jeopardy!’s time slot and moved Jeopardy! to replace WOF for that day. Stations with WOF may be losing revenue from linear viewing since the show is streaming now.

West Coast ABC markets are also mostly unable to watch WOF on TV for the rest of this week due to ABC alternating the Stanley Cup and NBA Finals most days. Although most stations schedule WOF shortly after the games, it comes with the risk of the show not airing if the games run too long.

However, in addition to the usual next-day streaming, this whole week of episodes is rerunning in four weeks, from June 29-July 3, so there will be another opportunity to catch tonight’s episode pretty soon.

What was the solution? 🥰

I remember back in the days of Wheel, there were special wedges like prizes, the gift tag, wild card, and/or other special wedges on the wheel with a $5,000 space on the wheel for rounds 4 and up. Will Wheel of Fortune go back to those days when the extra cardboard was not automatically removed from the wheel for rounds 4+ and these things stayed on the wheel for the final spin? If these spaces get landed on the final spin today, it would not be an edit out, and the only the dollar value beneath the wedge is the typical space + $1,000 per consonant. It would not be a respin for landing on these spaces for the final spin.

I am about to audition for my second time ever for WOF and was wondering for anyone who has ever been on what do you think set you apart from other potential players being interviewed? My zoom audition interview is soon! I play the WOF Apple Arcade game daily now to keep fresh with the puzzles. I know that is apart of the process as well.

This is Day 5 of this season's last compilation week (Week 38). What are your thoughts?
