Last week, Robo-James’ time machine looked at the evolution over the decades of Wheel of Fortune. That eternal process continues; the game show starts a new season Monday, with a new twist that—like many in the past—sounds like a needless complication of something that already worked. The “Free Spin” wedge will be replaced by “Free Play.” What is that, you ask?
Well, here’s the description the show’s press-meisters sent:
Play the Wheel of Fortune Toss-Up Challenge game on your computer or mobile device. It's free and regularly updated with new puzzles!
“Free Play” will be on the wheel during the first three rounds of play and can be landed on repeatedly, and by all 3 contestants, without losing its value. The wedge gives the contestant immunity on his or her first action. If he or she calls a letter that is not in the puzzle, calls a letter that has already been called or incorrectly tries to solve the puzzle, he or she will not lose a turn. It also allows contestants to call a vowel for free whether or not they have the $250 necessary. Unlike “Free Spin”, which had no value when landed on, each correct consonant called during a “Free Play” is worth $500.

Got it? Good. Explain it to me, then.
I’m not automatically opposed to any change on Wheel. Last year’s introduction of the million-dollar-wedge, for instance, raised the stakes without doing anything to monkey with the basic game play. But WoF, I think, is falling into a trap of successful game shows, and really successful TV shows in general, and really people or things that have been successful at anything too long in general: it can’t leave well enough alone.
I get it. The natural inclination is toward progress. It’s irresistible. And it’s hard to accept that you are simply at your optimal state of achievement and cannot advance further. If you are a brilliant host of a 12:35 a.m. late-night show, for instance, you still take The Tonight Show if offered, even if you were less constrained at 12:35 a.m. And if you are one of the most-popular game shows of all time, you still tweak your format. Because it gets boring doing the same thing year in and year out, and therefore, you assume, the audience must be bored too.
Still, like the elaborate puzzle categories WoF has tried over the years, Free Play just seems to mess with something that’s not broken. (Take the recently introduced “Prize Puzzles,” in which the prize is always a trip and thus the answer always a predictable variation on “Drinking a Margarita on the Beach,” “Relaxing Underneath a Palm Tree,” etc.)
“Free Spin” made sense. It was a free spin. “Free Play”—well, I’ll see how it work in practice, but it seems like some weird hybrid of a super-free-spin, plus a free vowel, plus an incongruous “immunity” element that makes it seem like WoF’s producers are worried about seeming outdated in the reality-show era.
Enough, I say! Free the Free Spin! Who’s with me?

It goes backward. Please fix this issue. I should be at the last box but instead it goes backward as if I never beat the round.

I changed my rating from 5 to 3 because you are no longer allowed to keep the diamonds rewarded to you after completing each levels in a city. It goes into a piggy bank that holds a maximum of 480 diamonds and bounces off the piggy bank after exceeding 480.
You're unable to collect even when the piggy bank is full. It's like an ATM. You have to pay $2.99 to get YOUR diamonds.
Hopfully they change it back.' ,760000000,37,null,null,'3','Lisa Greene',null,null,2,null,null,null,'Dear',null,2,null,null,null,'love the game!!!!!! Hope to be an ACTUAL contestant one lucky day!!! I really wish that it would stay like the real game and you spin til you miss a letter.
That would be awesome!! But overall it is my favorite!!!!
Still love the game. I just wish that I could use my free letters when I wanted to as apposed to using them whenever I miss a letter. And on letter streak.
I hate how if you miss one letter it takes you back to the beginning ud83dude2b. Other than that.

Really hard to earn lucky letters now. The game used to be a lot more fun before they made all these changes.

It will continue to receive my 5 stars.

No lies, if it goes back to the old games, I would quit playing again for awhile.

It's kinda upsetting. I play the tournaments and I love them but I finished 1st in a Word Rush tournament and never received my 500 diamonds.
