Wheel of Fortune/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

*** There's actually more incentive not to spin now, even if you only have $250. Nowadays, there's a $1000 minimum, so if you solve with only $250, they make it $1000 instead.

*** Also, just because you know what one of the words is doesn't mean you know the whole phrase; You buy an obvious vowel in the hopes that it shows up somewhere else to help you out, and since you know there's at least one, you don't risk losing a turn.

** Also, it's not as if the $250 swing would make that big a difference. The scores are usually far enough apart at the end of the game.

* If Sajak constantly had to remind players that "Person does not always mean proper name" (and forgot to do so nearly half the time), why did it take them until ''1996'' to realize the easy solution of just making Proper Name its own category? It's not like they were against making new categories in the 1990s...
