Here you’ll find the Wheel of Fortune bonus puzzle answer today for October 2025. The new seasons of Wheel of Fortune and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune are already in full swing, and we’ll have the solutions for both shows featuring Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White below.
For every episode, we’ll share the answer to the bonus round first before delving into the answer for the rest of the tossups and regular puzzles (plus the Fanday Funday words). And we’ll update this guide every weekday to make sure that it remains relevant throughout the month. Let’s hope the contestants are as lucky as Christina Derevjanik, who won the $1 million grand prize on September 30.
