2:Controls,Instructions, and the basics
Controls:
A:Select Letter/Spin Wheel
Left/Right on the D-Pad-Select
Start-Start Game from Title Screen

INSTRUCTIONS
A puzzle is generated on the board. You must spin the wheel with the desired
strength and then select a consonant. You will get the amount you got on the
wheel times the number of one letter on the board you selected. Select SPIN,
then enter a consonant.

Example
$600
you got 4 Ns on the puzzle
$2400 earned.

If you get a wrong letter, then you lose your turn.

This game can be played with 3 players or computers with 3 skill levels. No
NES Four Score is needed, Players 1 and 3 use Controller 1 and 2nd player
uses Controller 2.

If you want to buy a vowel, make sure you have $250 and select the vowel. No
money is gained for it, but it could help you win. If it says ONLY VOWELS ARE
LEFT, only A's, E's, I's, O's, and U's are left on the puzzle. This usually
clues you in on the correct answer. If only vowels are left, you can only buy
a VOWEL and SOLVE the puzzle. If you don't have enough money to buy a vowel,
you can only solve..and I think sometimes it will declare it as a draw and
just go to the next puzzle.

If you know the answer at ANYTIME, SOLVE the puzzle and enter the letters
correctly. Select END to declare that as your anser. If you are wrong, you
lose your turn and the next person takes their turn. Be careful on spelling
or the next person can SOLVE on their own, especially since you gave them the
answer! If you misenter, you can click the arrow next to END so you can
backspace and re-enter the desired letter. If you know it, you can try to get
more money from consonant entries, but you risk hitting MISS A TURN or the
dreaded BANKRUPT.

3:THE FAQ

A:The Wheel

Spin the wheel with A. Stop when the STRENGTH bar his the desired length. The
more length, the more speed it will have. You have as much time as you want
here. If you want to PAUSE, just leave the STRENGTH bar running. Press A to
SPIN the wheel. It will land anywhere between $150-1000 or on a special
space. That will be covered in a second..

So it is Value of what you spun times  number of letters of the one you
selected
$1000 x 2 T's=$2000

SPECIAL SPACES

Miss Turn (M)-This causes you to lose your turn. Next player goes up to spin.
Bankrupt (B)-The horrible space that causes ALL your earnings in the current
round to disappear AND you lose your turn. It does not affect your total
however, just the money for that round.

Free Spin (+)-If you lose your turn, you can use this to get another one. You
lose your turn in these ways...

A:Guessing a wrong letter
B:Selecting a vowel after spinning, and not buying it
C:Solving the puzzle wrong
D:Miss a Turn
E:Bankrupt
F:Selecting a consonant when you buy a vowel
G:If the timer expires

You can have more than one free spin at a time.

B:The Puzzle
You see blank white squares. Each of those hides a letter. Guess a letter
right and all those tiles with the corresponding letter appear. Eventually
enough of the puzzle will appear for you to be able to figure it out and
solve.

Title:This clues you in as to the answer. It can be person,place, thing,
event, fictional character, etc. It is above the puzzle.

Options
SPIN, Buy a VOWEL, or SOLVE the puzzle, and the string of letters. When you
guess a letter, right or wrong, that letter disappears off the board. It will
NOT disappear off the board if you buy a vowel and select a consonant, or
spin and select a vowel.

Players
This will list the names of players. You can select the COMPUTER of 3
different skills to vacate all empty spots. All will work against each other.

Autosolve
If you get all the letters uncovered without solving, the game is over and
whoever selected the final letter gets the cash.

Draw
If no one has $250 and only vowels are left on the puzzle, the game
automatically ends in a draw.

Free Spin
You lose your turn if you solve the answer wrong, buy a consonant, hit
MISS-A-TURN or BANKRUPT on the wheel, guess a wrong letter, select a vowel
after spinning, or when the timer expires. (you got 7 seconds to choose a
letter) then you have a choice to use a free spin or not (if you have one)
You can have more than one free spin at a time.

House Minimum-If you solve the puzzle with $500 or less cash (say you solved
with $0) then you get $500 added to your winnings (score)

Tie game-If 2 people or more have the same amount of cash after round 3 in
their winnings, I have no idea what the tie breaker is. Never seen one.


Key
M=Miss a turn
B=Bankrupt
+=Free Spin
$????=Cash

C:The Rounds

Round 1:This is a regular round to gain cash
Round 2:This is also a regular round to gain cash

Round 3: "SPEED round. The wheel automatically spins, and the amount it lands
on is what the value of each consonant will be. If it lands on Miss a turn,
bankrupt, or free spin, it spins again. Vowels are worth nothing, select any
letter. If you are right, you can attempt to solve. If you are wrong or don't
attempt to solve,  the next person takes his/her turn. The highest scoring
player after this round is over goes to the Bonus Round.

Round 4:"BONUS ROUND"-Select a prize and then pick 5 consonants and a vowel.
Any letters that are on there that you picked go up there. You have 40
seconds to then solve from what you got up there. Use the arrow to backspace.
Good luck.

D:Tricks

Useless Name Entering Trick-If you let the intro theme play for about 5-10
minutes, eventually the music will stop. Then when it does, go enter your
name, listen to the sound of you entering your name, you could not do that
before.

Practice-If you want to play by yourself, select 1 player and NO to VS
computer.

Draw Game-Make sure ONLY VOWELS ARE LEFT and have less than $250 for
everyone's current holdings.
