Tonight’s Wheel of Fortune Recap Friday, 30 October 2026

On the October 30, 2026 episode of Wheel of Fortune, Cory Lyons opened the game with a strong showing in the Zombie Apocalypse-themed Fast Four. He identified WORLD WAR Z, THE LAST OF US, and DAWN OF THE DEAD, then completed the set with SHAUN OF THE DEAD.

Cory carried that momentum into the first main round, Who Wins?, where he solved ‘CANDYMAN’ OR ‘BEETLEJUICE’? for $5,000. Kathy Seetoo got on the board in the Before & After round by solving RUNAWAY BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, worth $2,700.

The Travel Tip round included a Great Britain tour, which Cory added to his total along with $1,400. In the Toss-Up rounds, Ope Ifafore solved a Hocus-Pocus-themed puzzle, while Kathy answered OPEN SESAME and later solved PLEASE to reach $6,700.

The decisive late-game puzzle came in the Speed-Up round, What Are You Doing? Cory solved COMING IN FIRST PLACE for an additional $3,200. That solve secured the Wheel of Fortune victory for Cory, who finished with $21,598 in cash and a tour.

In the Bonus Round, Cory chose a What Are You Wearing? puzzle. With his family present, he attempted WOOL BLAZER but did not solve it. The bonus prize was $40,000, so the Bonus Round was not won.
