Crazy Wheel of Fortune Solve

If I were one of the other people playing and this happened I would just say "Fuck this" and leave. This is amazing.

I watched that one. I've also solved a few puzzles with no letters showing. One was, "I can't see a thing without my glasses".

By the way, did you know Charlie O'Donnell (announcer) died last Monday?

she should have spinned for more money

It was a prize puzzle. She could have lost a lot more than she might have gained.

That's funny

On one hand, it was impressive. On the other, it wasn't totally surprising that someone could do that. Having a 3 letter X'XX word with an apostrophe really limits the possibilities of what the first word could have been. It could have only started with an "I". Still, amazing the rest came to her so quickly.

Excactly, she could have gotten a lot more money by spinning a few times. That's pretty amazing anyway. She must be incredibly smart or gifted with words, or else it was fixed, which I doubt. I've seen some really stupid contestants on that show. One woman said, "I want to buy a vowel. Give me an L please." Another guy had "Nuclear Disarmament" spelled out completely, no letters hidden, but he said, "Nuclear Disarmanent" with an n instead of the second m, and Pat Sajak made him say it again, and he still said it wrong, so he lost his turn, and of course the next player said it correctly and won.

I remember one game where the solution was "buttinsky." All the letters were showing, but the judges wouldn't accept any of the pronunciations that were given, even though I honestly couldn't tell the difference between any of the contestants' guesses.

That was the best solve that I ever saw on Wheel. I used to watch the show frequently. I tried to get selected as a contestant, but it's no easy task. Saw a live show when they were here in San Diego. Don't watch it so much anymore, but I still like it when I happen to see it.

I'm pretty good a puzzles like that, haven't gotten one with just one letter though.

LOL at the guy's reaction, how he keeps looking back and forth between her and the game board.

This is painful to watch. To think they are in the armed forces. To be honest I feel worse for the daytime talk show hosts.

gsdx, I once solved a puzzle with no letters showing:

MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE.

The craziest solve I ever saw on WOF was back in the early 1990's, I think - during the time when the final bonus puzzle sometimes had only one word with as few as three or four letters. That trend went on for a couple years, and a lot of those were REALLY hard to solve.

I looked all over YouTube a few months ago, hoping that somebody had posted this, but I didn't see it.

The bonus puzzle was a THREE-LETTER WORD, and the category was THING.

Showing the RSTLN E, the three-letter word remained blank.

The contestant was clearly lost, and I don't remember the first two consonants he/she picked (but for the sake of argument let's say they were D and P). The choices went like this:

D P Z O

Picking a Z????????????????????????????

The answer came up completely: ZOO!

Man, that was insane to solve a puzzle with just one letter!
