• About

    This small, text-only site focuses on statistical reports generated from a program I've been working on for the past year plus. The subject, of course, is Wheel of Fortune episodes, starting with S29.

    Individual episode report posts have been made beginning from #5461. See the Content option in the menu to see an index of those reports.

    All Analyses has insight / data gathered from multiple shows, including a full season analysis on just about everything.

First Trimester of S29

Here is everything I’ve worked on multi-game analysis so far for the first third of the season, mostly a text dump. It’s still unrefined and long-winded… I have a term paper and 3 finals coming up, but then I have a month off, so I hope to work on it then…

I put this total somewhere in the dump, but there have been 270 maingame rounds (65*4 + 10 R5s).
