Unlike Seasons 12-13, the $10,000 Wedge is removed after Round 3.

The Jackpot wedge and second Bankrupt move to Round 2, and the $10,000 Wedge back to Round 3.

Also, Pat no longer mentions any of the top dollar values. $2,500 becomes the top dollar for Round 1, $3,500 for Rounds 2 and 3, and $5,000 thereafter.

For this season only, Toss-Ups are not split-screened, and many use three rows even if the answer could fit on two.

The first wipe for them is a golden coin that has the traditional logo along with 'Toss-Up' written in light yellow Arial, which flips from the bottom to the top of the screen.

If the first one is not solved, the red contestant starts Round 1, and if the second one is not solved, the red contestant starts Round 4.

If a Toss-Up is not solved, the 'time's up' buzzer from the Bonus Round sounds.

A light music bed plays as the letters reveal, and the right-letter ding sounds upon ringing in.

The sets are now fitted with color-coded buzzers similar to those used on Jeopardy! Giving a wrong answer or no answer at all locks a player out for the rest of the round.

Instead, Pat now explains the Toss-Ups and gives the category.

Because of the above, the 'Just before the show we drew numbers to see who would start the game' spiel is also eliminated.

The contestant who solves the first one also starts Round 1, with the next two clockwise respectively starting Rounds 2 and 3, while the contestant who solves the second one also starts Round 4.

For this season only, there are two Toss-Up puzzles, each valued at $1,000: one at the start of the show, and one before Round 4.

The Preview Puzzle and Puzzler are retired.

Toss-Ups are introduced, bringing with them a myriad of changes:.

The Wheel's lights flash as Pat and Vanna are introduced.

Charlie’s intro is changed to 'And now, here are the stars of our show, Pat Sajak and Vanna White!'.

The audience shot debuts on October 23rd. The template used is the same one from the previous season.

After the chant, the Wheel graphic flips up and zooms into the center. The opening starts with a shot of the applauding audience, then shows flashback clips within the outline of the Wheel, which then rotates to show a golden vertical version of the two-row logo on its side.
