[[WMG: There will be 20 numbered books in the series.]]
* There will be 19 books total in the series, but to keep up with the 19th floor, the 19th book will actually be numbered the 20th instead.

[[WMG: Wendy Nogard was never a good person.]]
Wendy Nogard being left at the altar is what turned her mean and vindictive, but she never was a decent person to begin with. That's shown by how she uses her mind reading powers to seduce a man by telling him exactly what he wants to hear, to the point of buying a book and a dog to complete the deception. It's likely Wendy's entire relationship with her boyfriend was based entirely on lies to avoid conflict, which isn't healthy. Wendy keeps her ear secret until she's literally at the altar because she suspects that her boyfriend will abandon her if he knows about it, which he does in large part because she hadn't told him about it a lot sooner. It's because they never had any fights or anything to help each other look past their flaws that Wendy's boyfriend is shocked at the first sign of a flaw in Wendy and bails in a panic. Wendy has always been a ManipulativeBastard, just not an actively malicious one until after the breakup, and it wasn't until the end of the third book that she actually becomes a good person.

There's been a running gag through the books so far in having the final sentence bee "Everybody [word rhyming with 'oo']-ed." ''Sideways Stories'' has "Everybody booed." ''Falling Down'' has "Everybody mooed." ''Gets a Little Stranger'' has "Everybody oohed." and ''Beneath the Cloud of Doom" has "Everybody chewed." That means the next theoretical twelve books will be some of the following:

[[WMG: There will eventually be sixteen books in the series.]]
The covers of the current (as of 2022) editions of the first three books have two floors on them: ''Sideways Stories'' has the top two floors, ''Falling Down'' has two somewhere in the middle, and ''Gets a Little Stranger'' has the ground floor and the next one up (first or second depending on regional terminology). ''Beneath the Cloud of Doom'' breaks the trend by having the top floor and a view of the roof, necessary given its storyline. Even with that break in conceptual structure, the idea behind this WMG is that they will eventually build an entire Wayside School from book covers, meaning that twelve more books are necessary.

[[WMG: Possible final words of the next twelve books...]]

''Falling Down'' has "Everybody mooed." ''Gets a Little Stranger'' has "Everybody oohed." and ''Beneath the Cloud of Doom" has "Everybody chewed."

* mewed
* stewed
* cooed
* glued
* queued
* shooed
* brewed
* spewed (possibly a little too gross-out for the series)
* pooed (ditto the above)
* sued
* viewed
* imbued
* screwed (as in with literal screws and screwdrivers)
* shewed (maybe too obscure of a word, but it could be introduced to the readers ahead of time)
* eschewed (ditto the above)
* shoed (or some other PerfectlyCromulentWord)
* some nonsense word made up by the characters a la "goozack" or "mugworm griblick"

It's unique to the town, as it's implied in the books that the rest of the world is as normal and mundane as ours. This supernatural element manifests in the 19th story that may or may not exist, the mysterious men in black, superpowered individuals, people with extra body parts, the laws of physics not working, and the general wackiness that takes place every day. Wayside School is where the supernatural energy is the strongest and acts as a magnet of sorts. If a superpowered person is located outside of the town, they will eventually end up at Wayside School.
