A recent slip-up on Wheel of Fortune left even host Ryan Seacrest puzzled. On the November 18 episode, contestant Joey Sweet, a program director from<\/p>\n
Oceanside, CA, missed a $40,000 bonus round prize. The category was \u201cPhrase,\u201d and the puzzle read \u201cCA_ED\u2019 \u2018_ _\u2019 \u2018_AND\u201d after he<\/p>\n
picked the letters C, D, M, A, and Wild Card letter F. Sweet guessed \u201cCleared in hand\u201d\u2014but the correct answer was \u201cCarved By Hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even Vanna White threw up her hands in disappointment. Seacrest consoled Sweet, saying, \u201cYou were on the right track\u2026 This is<\/p>\n
a tricky one,\u201d before revealing the missed prize. Despite the loss, Sweet stayed positive, walking away with over $16,000 and a trip to Mexico.<\/p>\n
The moment went viral online, with fans calling the puzzle especially tough. One viewer commented, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t<\/p>\n
have solved that unless I had the right letters.\u201d Another noted how \u201cBy\u201d is often a hard two-letter word to guess in the bonus round.<\/p>\n
Sweet\u2019s moment followed a similar viral guess the week prior, when another contestant guessed \u201cTreat yourself a round<\/p>\n
of sausages\u201d instead of \u201cGive yourself a round of applause.\u201d Once again, Wheel of Fortune proves it\u2019s full of surprises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
