Contestants have stated that they tape a week's worth at a time. Since they show runs Monday to Friday that would be 5 Shows. The Wheel of Fortune site has said that they tape 5 episodes a day for a week and then take 3 weeks off from taping new shows. That would add up to 8 weeks of taping per season. So they tape 25 shows at a time over the period of a week or 5 shows on the same day
