Puzzles have been solved after having only one or two letters of the puzzle uncovered on many occasions. They only allow ten seconds for a contestant to solve the bonus puzzle and most that solve it do so well before they are buzzed out. When the speed up round on the last puzzle before the bonus puzzle starts a contestant has only three seconds to solve the puzzle after Vanna completes turning the letters over. There's no clock to determine the number of seconds it took someone to solve the puzzle and many times a person will decide to gamble and keep spinning the wheel trying to win more money than to quickly solve a puzzle. You can determine by the contestants choice of letters that they have already solved the puzzle and are continuing to spin to make more money. It's a risk and they know that luck and skill are both parts of the game. It's a show to try to win money and not to quickly buzz in and solve the puzzle except for three times a night. Even for those three puzzles some contestants wait to confirm their possible answer by allowing more letters to turn over rather than to quickly make a guess on a possible solution. However the have been times when those puzzles have been buzzed to be solved even before the first letter was finished being turned by Vanna White.

Contestants who win zero get a 1000 dollars so that is the smallest amount. If you were to look at it afterexpensesmany of those $1,000 contestants might have spent over $1,000 on travel andaccommodations just to get to the culver city studio and return home. Much more if they made an extended family trip out of it
