While some felt the final puzzle was unusually tough, others believed he had enough clues to crack it. Wredberg started strong, solving the first puzzle quickly and racking up $13,100 along with a Tahitian cruise in the Mystery Round.<\/p>\n<p>His momentum carried through the main game, where he closed with nearly $30,000 in winnings and two trips, setting him up as a top contender. But the high-stakes Bonus Round brought disappointment. Standing with host Ryan Seacrest and his family, Wredberg chose the category\u00a0<em>What Are You Wearing?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After picking his letters, the board revealed: \u201cM _ F _ N _ _ _ L O T _ E S.\u201d With the standard set \u201cR, S, T, L, N, E\u201d plus his chosen letters \u201cM, F, G, O,\u201d he had 10 seconds to solve. He tried answers like \u201cMy fun clothes\u201d and even joked with \u201cMy funcles,\u201d but the correct solution was \u201cMy Fancy Clothes.\u201d Missing it meant losing out on a $40,000 prize, as the audience groaned in sympathy and social media lit up with debate.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-126\" src=\"https:\/\/apk4u.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-1.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apk4u.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-1.png 768w, https:\/\/apk4u.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-1-300x197.png 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"504\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Fans were divided.
