In this paper, we present solutions of two open problems regarding the Wiener index $ W(G) $ of a graph $ G $. More precisely, we prove that for any $ r \geq 2 $, there exist infinitely many graphs $ G $ such that $ W(G) = W(G - \{v_1, \ldots, v_r\}) $, where $ v_1, \ldots, v_r $ are $ r $ distinct vertices of $ G $. We also prove that for any $ r \geq 1 $ there exist infinitely many graphs $ G $ such that $ W(G) = W(G - \{v_i\}) $, $ 1 \leq i \leq r $, where $ v_1, \ldots, v_r $ are $ r $ distinct vertices of $ G $.
