• Words With Friends Week on Wheel of Fortune (Sept 21-25): Each night during the integration will feature a Words with Friends puzzle using the crossword puzzle category. During the round, the puzzleboard will be stylized to resemble the Words With Friends game board, with random spaces featuring a DL (Double Letter) or TL (Triple Letter) icon. When a contestant correctly calls a consonant that is placed on one of those spaces, the value of the wedge they landed on will be doubled or tripled accordingly.
• In-Game Event: Words With Friends players can channel their inner contestant as letters are revealed on a Wheel of Fortune-style puzzle board right inside the app. Play words in a Classic match, uncover a hidden phrase one letter at a time, and solve it to win limited-edition in-game rewards – like a Wheel of Fortune tile style available only for six months.
• Vanna White Joins the Fun: Long-time Wheel of Fortune co-host and Words With Friends player Vanna White brings the crossover to life with new promotional videos celebrating the partnership and putting her own word-game skills to the test.
