New controversy in 'Rueda la letra': the contest copies old roscos from the Telecinco era, repeating up to 20 answers in the final test

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General10 September 2026 at 17:01

The 'Rueda la letra' contest, presented by Carlos Sobera, is facing a new controversy just days after its broadcasts began. According to the newspaper El País, the program's final test reused roscos practically identical to those that had been used years ago in the 'Pasapalabra' program during its phase on Telecinco.

The most notable case involves Fran González, one of the first contestants of the program. The repeated questions reach up to 20 answers identical to those that had been previously used in another contest on the same television channel.

This is not the first controversy involving 'Pasapalabra' and the reuse of content. The program, which currently airs on Antena 3, has already been the subject of legal disputes related to the use of questions and tests, which makes this situation even more delicate for the production.

The repetition of content on Spanish television raises questions about the originality of formats and about the copyright of the tests used in contests, at a time when 'Rueda la letra' is seeking to establish itself as a new entertainment offering on the schedule.

Gerald Murnane announced that "Border Territories" (2017) would be his last novel, but in this work the 'self' of the text becomes confused with the empirical author, the plot is scarce or non-existent, and the psychology of the characters becomes almost useless, characteristics that mark the unmistakable style of the Australian writer.
