Math Wheel of FortuneEach turn you spin the wheel.
If “bankrupt”, then lose all points accumulated this puzzle.If “Lose a turn”, then continue to next player.If points, then do one of the following:
Choose a consonant. Receive where is the number of letters. Buy a vowel. Receive where is the number of letters.
If , you get another turn. If play continues to the next player.
At any point during your turn you may attempt to guess the phrase.If correct you keep all our points. (Only the player solving
keeps their points)If incorrect play immediately continues to the next player.
