Although plenty of Wheel of Fortune viewers on social media suggested that the new puzzle board is subpar, others welcomed the switch.

"Why are some fans unhappy with the change to a single display on Wheel of Fortune's puzzle board?” one fan tweeted. "I think it's really cool. I previously have been thinking that Jeopardy! should do the same with its board since 2012.”

@BuzzerBlog agreed, writing: “For the record, the Wheel of Fortune puzzle board is clearly not cheap, good for them for modernizing because it needed it, and they spent time and care to get it to be what they know works best for their fans.”

With more than 7,000 episodes to date, showrunners tease that they’ve upped the competition and the cash prizes in Season 40. The series returns to the small screen on Monday, Sept. 12. Check your local listings for showtimes!
