Tonight’s Recap Tuesday, 11 November 2025
The November 11, 2025, Veterans Week episode of Wheel of Fortune honored service members with a spirited competition featuring three remarkable contestants — John Le from Grand Rapids, Air Force veteran and volunteer coach; Annabelle Sanders from Waldorf, Maryland, a Navy veteran and two-time cancer survivor; and Alex Klenofsky from Riverview, Florida, a Coast Guard veteran known for swimming the Arctic Ocean. The night opened with Alex solving the $1,000 Toss-Up: INSPIRING OTHERS, followed by another quick win on the $2,000 Toss-Up: FIRST RESPONDERS. With all three contestants representing military service, the episode captured the patriotic theme beautifully.
In the first round, with the Same Letter category, Alex used a steady approach to solve BRAVERY, BALDNESS, BRAVADO, earning $3,300 and showcasing both wit and composure under pressure. Despite some missteps with letters and a few spins lost to the Bankrupt wedge, he maintained his early lead. The following Prevagen Mystery Round, themed Back in the Day, brought John Le into the spotlight. After a round filled with Bankrupts and LaTs from all players, John seized control to correctly identify DISCO BALLS & PLATFORM SHOES for $10,900, swinging the momentum in his favor.
The Prize Puzzle Round gave Annabelle a much-deserved breakthrough as she solved LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN, earning $250 plus a cruise to Alaska with UnCruise Adventures. The puzzle was fittingly serene, celebrating a destination known for its stunning natural beauty — a well-earned trip for a veteran and survivor like Annabelle. By this point, the scores were tightly packed, with all three players within reach of the win as they moved toward the Triple Toss-Ups.
The Fun & Games Triple Toss-Ups became John’s domain. He confidently solved SWIMMING IN A LAKE and SWIMMING IN THE OCEAN before Annabelle caught the last of the trio, SWIMMING IN CASH. Their quick back-and-forth added energy to the night, with John regaining the lead heading into the final spin. In the Speed-Up round with the Pet Life category, John solved CHASING SQUIRRELS for $6,400, narrowly holding off Annabelle to finish with $21,300.
John advanced to the Bonus Round, selecting the Place category. The puzzle — QUAINT FARMHOUSE — proved elusive despite some helpful letters. He wasn’t able to solve it in time, missing out on a Chevrolet Colorado that would have complemented the charming answer. Still, John finished with a strong $21,300, while Annabelle closed with $12,350 in cash and a cruise, and Alex ended with $6,300. The Veterans Week episode balanced heart, humor, and high-stakes spins, celebrating courage and camaraderie on the Wheel of Fortune stage.
