'Too bright and cartoony'
The new Wheel of Fortune board is too bright and cartoony. Fix it, universe. #WheelOfFortune

The new board is not the only change coming to Wheel. The first week of shows is "XL Week," since XL is also the Roman numeral of 40. There will be "extra luxurious" prizes, and "extra large" puzzles, and the wheel could be "Extra lucky" for contestants. Players can also double their chances to win $1 million since there will be two full $1 million wedges. If they make it to the bonus round with a $1 million wedge, they can win another $1 million because there will be two $1 million envelopes in the bonus wheel.

There is also a new "XL Wedge," which gives players a chance to win $40,000 if they bring it to the bonus round. After "XL Week" is over, the game will go back to normal. However, the minimum players can win on the bonus wheel was raised to $40,000. We imagine Pat Sajak will have a lot of fun explaining these changes on the show.

Why are some fans unhappy with the change to a single display on Wheel of Fortune's puzzle board? I think it's really cool. I previously have been thinking that Jeopardy should do the same with its board since 2012. pic.twitter.com/mL3DvP1OP7

"Is it just me, or is the new graphic letter board on Wheel of Fortune just awful to look at? Can't explain it, but definitely irritates my eyes when I look at it... Wish they never changed it," one fan wrote.

"The new Wheel of Fortune board is obnoxiously bright—also the new extra white around the letters needs to go," one viewer wrote.

I love when a new season of Wheel of Fortune starts so I can identify the changes made between seasons. This year it appears they went with blinding viewers with a brighter-than-the-sun board, ditching those white spinners, & adding more spaces between the RSTLNE at the end… pic.twitter.com/Pk5yWNeGda

"Wheel of Fortune team changed the font for the scoreboards and IDK why it's bothering me so much," one viewer wrote.
