Wheel of Fortune Made More Inclusive

In an unexpected twist of fate, the TV game show Wheel of Fortune has made a number of changes to its existing rules.

Each wedge on the “wheel” will now be worth the same amount, $1,818, with the million dollar wedge being removed completely as it is too evocative of capitalism.The Free Play wedge will remain the same as it retains a likeness to socialist ideals. The Lose a Turn wedge will be renamed to Share a Turn, making it less unsettling when landed on. Game mechanics behind the Lose a Turn wedge will remain the same, but instead of the player losing his or her turn, the player will share it with another player. Landing on a Free Trip wedge will now send all the contestants on a shared dream vacation, regardless of who lands on it. The Bankrupt wedge has been renamed Redistribute; players landing on said wedge will now equally distribute their winnings with all other contestants.

The puzzles will also be changed with each word in the phrase being limited to a maximum of 5 letters. Guessing an incorrect letter will not cost the player anything, but will cause the other two contestants to lose the amount listed on the wedge.
