Jack521:
One thing I find fascinating about game shows is seeing rules bibles, especially rare/never used rules. For instance, I was on Wheel of Fortune, and it was interesting seeing in my rules packet that you can solve after a spin.

I’ve seen a couple posted here (Whew, Password) I believe. Are there any others posted anywhere?

TLEberle:
You can solve after a spin? Are you allergic to money?

I know they allow it in speed up but if you know the puzzle you know letters in the puzzle.

Jack521:
I assume the rule is in place for someone that gets confused, but the only thing I can think of strategy wise would be if you weren’t sure how to spell a word in the puzzle, and felt more comfortable just saying it.

MSTieScott:
I assume the rule specifically says you can solve immediately after a spin that lands on money or a prize/decision wedge. Otherwise, I'm using the loophole to blurt out the answer as soon as the wheel stops on Lose a Turn.

I remember a Woolery episode when, in the final spin round, somebody solved the puzzle instead of guessing a letter first. IIRC, on one of the next few episodes, Chuck saw that the next contestant knew what the solution was and told him to call out a letter first - and that made the difference between winning a compact car and something like a Mustang.
