Tonight’s Wheel of Fortune Recap Tuesday, 28 April 2026
On April 28, 2026, Wheel of Fortune opened with toss-up solves that quickly set the tone for the game. Lynnette solved SUMMERTIME SONGS in the first toss-up, and Brad answered MARKERS AND CRAYONS in the second. In the first main round, Benson took control with the solve RENEWING MY SUBSCRIPTION, giving him the early lead after a round that included several momentum shifts.
The Mystery Crossword round belonged to Lynnette, who put together the remaining entries NOTHING, ZERO & NADA. That solve gave her a major jump on the scoreboard and moved her into first place. Benson answered back in the Prize Puzzle with USE YOUR IMAGINATION, adding a trip and keeping the match close heading into the late stages.
The Triple Toss-Ups spread the money around and kept the race tight. Benson solved WHO LET THE DOGS OUT, Lynnette got CROCODILE ROCK, and Brad answered BABY SHARK. With all three contestants still in striking distance, the game came down to the Speed-Up round.
The deciding puzzle was MOONLIGHT AT MIDNIGHT, and Lynnette solved it for the win. That late solve secured the championship for her with $20,873 in cash and a trip to Montenegro. Brad finished with $14,099 in cash and a trip to Norway, while Benson ended the night with $5,600.
In the Bonus Round, Lynnette chose the category Thing. After the standard letters and her additional picks were added, she solved UNBELIEVABLE MOVE just before time expired. The solve earned her an extra $40,000, bringing her final total to $60,873 in cash and vacation winnings. It was a strong finish to a competitive Wheel of Fortune episode, with Lynnette winning both the main game and the bonus round.
