Wheel of Fortune India follows the core format of the international franchise, using the UK version's rule set. Contestants spin a large wheel to determine cash values and attempt to solve word puzzles by guessing letters. Correct guesses allow contestants to accumulate winnings, while incorrect spins may result in penalties such as loss of turn or loss of accumulated amounts.
The Indian adaptation features Hindi-language puzzles and culturally relevant categories while retaining the structure of the original format.
