Play Wheel of Fortune - Starring Vanna White Online

Spin the wheel, shout letters at your screen, and watch your NES opponents somehow solve "quasar" instantly while you're stuck buying vowels. That clunky wheel sound and Vanna's pixelated grin make it feel just like yelling at the TV as a kid.

Game Overview

Remember watching Wheel of Fortune after dinner as a kid? This NES version nails that vibe—Vanna White’s pixelated grin, the little "ding" when you guess a letter right, even the way the wheel spins with that satisfying clunk. There’s something weirdly addictive about shouting random consonants at your TV while the AI opponents somehow always guess "quasar" on their first try.

You can play solo or cram three friends onto the couch for some cutthroat puzzle-solving (pro tip: vowels cost $250, so don’t go wild). The puzzles range from "obvious" to "wait, how was I supposed to guess ‘xylophone’ with just an E?"—but that’s half the fun. The wheel’s got all the classic wedges, including Bankrupt, which will absolutely ruin your day at the worst possible moment.

It’s basically the 80s game show experience minus the cheesy sweaters. Just try not to throw your controller when the computer solves a puzzle with one letter.
