I've already played Deluxe Edition; might as well.
Once you look at the brief intro sequence with a digitized photo of Vanna White, it's off to the gameplay screen, which you're going to be looking at about 90% of the time. You'll put in your name and choose one of six characters to represent you. Unlike Deluxe Edition, all six characters look the same. Also, Vanna White looks like she is made out of clay.
The aim of the game is simple. Spin the wheel, guess what letters are in there to get money, and solve the puzzle to keep the bounty you just scrounged up.
You can change puzzles before a round begins with Select, and choose with X. Before the beginning of the first round, you can also change the appearance of Vanna White's dress and shoes, which always match.
There are three rounds, followed by a speed-up round. Whoever has the most money at the end of the speed-up round gets to go on to the final puzzle. After you pick your prize, and all R's, S's, T's, L's, N's and E's are revealed, you'll pick three consonants and a vowel, and then you have to solve the puzzle with the letters you have. Regardless of whether you win or lose, you'll see what prize you got (or could have gotten).
Press Y to spin, B to buy a vowel for $250 of your current score, or press A to solve. When you land on a cash value, select a consonant with X and, if you choose correctly, you'll get that cash value for every time the letter appears in the puzzle.
R, S, T, L, N and E are the most common letters. R and S are the consonants to start with, and E is the one to start with. If there's a single-letter word, start with A or I, then use E, as A and I are the only letters in the English language to have a meaning.
