Why does “The Wheel of Fortune” gameshow always give the contestents the letters RSTLN and E for the final word puzzle?
Contestents almost always chose these letters, so based on predictability, Wheel of Fortune just made them automatic “freebies.” However, if you want to win the puzzle, the best letters to choose in addition to those are GHP and O. An analysis of their final bonus puzzles shows that those are the next most frequently appearing letters.
