Either buy a vowel, spin the wheel or solve the puzzle if you know the solution.
Question

Why can’t I spin again if I guess a correct letter when playing Wheel of Fortune on my iPhone?

Community Answer

Unlike on the real show, you don't get to spin again after calling a correct letter except during Free Play or Hot Streak. Free Play allows you to call a consonant for $400 each, call a free vowel, or solve the puzzle without losing your turn for an incorrect answer. Hot Streak allows you to keep spinning and calling letters exactly like on the show.
