I’m raising an eyebrow on some of the megawords, but it’s the best 2.5 hours ever spent watching this chaos 😂

Megaword debuted on my 10th bday. I always watched Wheel with my great grandparent’s and they made so much noise during this episode. I remember so much about this night. Thank you for triggering so many memories!! ❤❤

"Megaword is NOT a new Mighty Morphin Power Ranger!" 😂😂😂😂😂

As I'm watching this, I'm getting the impression that as the season went on. Pat was getting more and more exasperated with the category.

1:25:09 I think she clearly didn't want to solve that puzzle on purpose if you ask me.

I like how Pat says "megaword". It's like it's his dastardly supervillain name.

The only category you would have to rely on Q, X, Z, and J to have a shot 😂😂😂

All together, there were 42 Megaword rounds in season 12, and perhaps were Pat Sajak's 42 least favorite rounds in his 90's career. I liked the category, but I personally would have not ever tried this as a category if I was the producer back then. Even some of these contestants back in 94-95 may have never heard of some of those words before, and puzzles like PRISTINELY, BOMBASTIC and OXIDIZED were examples of showing how this category turned out. Oxidized? OXIDIZED?!?! As a WOF wheel-spinning puzzle, seriously?! You're just asking for a lengthy round with that! And it sure was, nearly 6 minutes, possibly the longest-lasting single round in WOF history! "That was a mega-headache" Pat Sajak must've been saying after that round!

When Wheel of Fortune turns into a spelling bee.

I love this gameshow..thank you!

Wish they would have the puzzle board, wheel and set-up for the Wheel of Fortune video game as a retro-throwback

I remember this when I was a kid. I actually liked it!

Wow! I've never seen that category , at least I don't remember seeing it 🤷

I'm fairly sure this is what got producer Nancy Jones fired. The 1994-95 season was so bad. Using a low-money category FOUR TIMES during a CHARITY WEEK?!

When ideas sound good on paper. Wheel of fortune edition.

Megaword was a category until it was oxidized.

As an old soul Wheel Of Fortune person for 1994, I'd say I like that category Megaword it's quite a combination of the dictionary in each word. This is gold.

I liked this category both back in the mid 90's and now, but I understand why Pat didn't. Gave the producers a cheap reason to not use R,S,T,L,N, OR E in a round of the front game.

2:11:43. Pat: “I am in the mood for a mega word.” Sure, you were Pat. Just like you would be in the mood to throw up. Haha! In real life, Pat and Vanna HATED this category as time wore on.

I wonder if they would have accepted "I have to use the word extemporize in a sentence" because that is grammatically correct.

Well, this is something I didn't know I needed. Thanks!

The only reason they’ll never bring this category back is because no one nowadays understand what big words are. Could you imagine, “I like to solve the puzzle. Duh Da Duh”

I only had to watch the first one to see why everyone hated it.

Interesting...the 1989 theme lived on in the puzzle solve cue when they changed to the 1994 theme.

38:23 - Labyrinth Zone is the fourth level in Sonic the Hedgehog. 😃

I bet Oxidized irritated Pat because only three consonants appear, two of the consonants being X and Z, which seldom appear, so the contestants called almost every letter to finish the round

"Megaword is not a new MMPR" Well that came out of left field lol.

38:16 the puzzle was used on the wheel of fortune day-by-day calendar on February 1996.

Wow, the quality of this upload is spectacular (another megaword!)

2:19:40 Always liked this prize cue, has it ever surfaced in the clear?

9:21 “the National Game Show WHAT?!”

I Love game show's ❤❤❤

I guess when Harry took over in the mid-12th season, he must’ve been felt like towards Merv: “To Hell With this category, I got better plans than having contestants put words into sentences that wasted too much time for taping!”

Nice one Pat a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Reference.🤣

😂😂😂 it’s just the fact that they chose words with little to no repeating letters for me. And based on the fact that Wheel is 30 mins an ep.. I can’t believe they chose to have a category like this! They damn near forced ppl to solve on some of them.

I want to see this category in today's generation

Megaword was a MegaMISS.

58:30 you can hear audience groans lol. Even they grew tired of the always ubiquitous category

1994 was the debut of 3 things on wheel of fortune the megaword category the surprise wedge and the $10,000 wedge sandwiched in between 2 bankrupts the only megawords I know are cognizant cornucopia flatuently and wittiscism

Congrats Jeremy well played

Fortune500 foreclosed almost it costed you. Thank you beer sir lordgod

Llewellyn actually wins something on a gameshow! Unlike 1986

It’s MEEEEGAAAWOOORD!

30:09-30:11 Kaitou Joker BANKRUPT I’m so sorry Ash

I just started, and I hope somehow it ends with the game show fan contestant who told Pat how he remembered this category.

Omg all these years I thought the tan part was a border around each block! Now I see it’s the background 😆 back when vanna had to turn them around! I miss those. Always loved the shiny green ones!

1:44:59 I am not native English speaker, but when I saw "b.mb..t.." I gussed bombastic, why it took several spinning of the wheel to guess it actually saying I try to "attempt" to solve it

English is not my native language,and have been about 27 years in America ,but I was surprized myself when after watching about 15 minutes of this video I gussed "haphazardly" word at 6:25 by only seeing "......ard.." and "flamboyantly" at 21:22 by only seeing ".l......ntl." But I didn't know the meaning of them , but they were ringing in my ears.Probably because of watching too much tv. Btw often I guess puzzles in wheel of fortune. Sorry talking about myself

I was a high school freshman when this category was introduced. This category is discontinued. The 1997 puzzle board was introduced during my junior year of high school.

Thank you

49:52-49:54 Kaitou Joker BANKRUPT the Bankrupt got you guys time for me I’m sorry

A gimmick of a bygone time. The crowd was going nuts in the first few

With a category like this and all the time it took to figure the puzzles out, especially that "OXIDIZED" one, I'm glad it was retired!

This is a supercut of NY Times taking over Wordle

The legendary OXIDIZED round is at 1:54:27

2:06:49 when the contest is asked to use “sophisticated” in a sentence, and he says, “If I were high society, I would be sophisticated.” Did Pat Sajack actually respond with, “and we would be glad to have you.”? Did I hear that right? Did he just simultaneously elevate himself to high society and put this man down at the same time?

10:11-10:13 Bakugan Mechtanium Surge BANKRUPT I’m sorry Yuya Sakaki

Is it the fact that you’re on tv that makes the brain blank out? These were easy from here.

35:12 the puzzle was also used on the daytime episode aired on 9/1/82 which was the speed-up puzzle on R4 and was categorized as Thing.

1:30:34 - YOU FOOL!
