Tonight’s Wheel of Fortune Recap Monday, 9 November 2026

On the November 9, 2026, episode of Wheel of Fortune, Pierre Poindexter of Charlottesville, Virginia, won the game after building a decisive lead through several key puzzle solves. The opening Gone Fishin’ puzzles included Pierre’s LARGEMOUTH BASS and Danielle Jaffry’s CRABS AND LOBSTERS.

Andrea Hernandez took the early lead in the Food & Drink round with FRESHLY SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE. Pierre answered in the Before & After round, solving SINK OR SWIM TRUNKS for $1,200 and moving into contention.

Pierre extended his advantage in the Phrase round with I JUST CAN’T HELP MYSELF. The solve added cash and a Railbookers European tour to his total, giving him a substantial lead over Andrea and Danielle.

The Go Team! toss-ups featured TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS, solved by Pierre, MIAMI DOLPHINS, solved by Danielle, and ORLANDO MAGIC, also solved by Pierre. Pierre then clinched the Wheel of Fortune victory in the What Are You Doing? round with LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE, earning $6,450.

Pierre finished with $20,399 in cash and a European tour. He advanced to the Bonus Round with the category Phrase, but he did not solve the bonus puzzle and missed out on $45,000.
