Has anyone solved a Wheel of Fortune puzzle without any help in the bonus round?
AFAIK, I've never seen it happen before.

It's happened at least twice in the current era, I do believe. Once during Christmas 1988 and once during College Week in Washington D.C.

Are you watching Wheel? It's happened about a billion times.

Maybe he means no RSTLNE either.

Yeah, that's what I also meant as well.

Is WOF that harsh to give the contestant a puzzle without ANY of the default letters?

Kevin Prather · « **Reply #6 on:** January 06, 2005, 07:12:57 PM »

Well, if you think about pre-1988, before they had those as the default letters...

I don't recall anyone solving a bonus puzzle without a single letter showing(meaning the puzzle they picked has no RSTNLE or any of the four letters picked). I do remember ZOO being the bonus puzzle in 1992 and the contestant actually picked Z and O, sensing the puzzle might be ZOO.

Here's a brain teaser which may add to the thread: is it even POSSIBLE to come up with a puzzle on WoF that won't show the RSTLN or E?

Not a little 3 or 4 word puzzle, but something longer, like maybe two words, whether it be person, place, thing, or whatever.

If there's a Welsh version, they probably have some PLACEs that would qualify.

One contestant in the mid-1990s had no letters on the board, had PERSON as the category, and her first guess was BABY...and that was the correct answer.

Brian

Pope John Paul the Sixth?

"HAWAII"

One that's almost there...

"HAWAII FIVE-O"

One that is nothing but RSTLNE:

"TENNESSEE"

The only thing I can think of is

CUCKOO

This is pretty damn hard...the sad thing is, Pat's noted plenty of puzzles that didn't have RSTLN E.

I was watching a '92 episode of Wheel of Fortune where there were no default letters anywhere in the bonus puzzle and the contestant chose 3 more and 1 more vowel and none of her letters didn't appear in the puzzle either and it's only a 3 Letter bonus puzzle, so what was the category and what was the original air date for that episode?
