Tonight’s Wheel of Fortune Recap Friday, 25 September 2026
On Wheel of Fortune airing September 25, 2026, Gabe Raskin set the pace early by solving the $1,000 Toss-Up, IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE. He followed that with the $2,000 Toss-Up, FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA, giving him an immediate lead before the main game settled in.
In the first main round, Gabe added another solve with PULLING A RABBIT OF A HAT. That kept his momentum going while Carly Williams and Latasha Hines looked for an opening. The next major swing came in the Mystery Crossword round, where Carly built up some traction on the board, but Gabe ultimately finished the puzzle with MONKEY.
Gabe widened the gap again in the Prize Puzzle round by solving OCEANFRONT RETREAT. That round added both cash and a trip to his total, putting him in a commanding position. Later, the Triple Toss-Ups were split among the contestants, with Carly solving STRENGTH and STRENGTHEN, while Latasha got on the board with STRENGTHENING.
The deciding late-game solve came in the final puzzle, when Gabe answered I GOT THAT FRIDAY FEELING. That clinched the episode for him and sent him to the Bonus Round with a winning total of $33,972 in cash and merchandise. Carly and Latasha each had moments during the game, but Gabe controlled the biggest puzzle solves and never gave up the lead.
In the Bonus Round, Gabe chose Phrase. After the standard letters and his additional picks were revealed, he was unable to solve BELIEVE THE HYPE. The bonus prize was $40,000, so the Bonus Round was not won. For anyone searching for a Wheel of Fortune recap, winner, bonus puzzle, and puzzle answers from September 25, 2026, this episode belonged to Gabe Raskin from start to finish.
