‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Fans Are Losing Their Minds After A Contestant Missed A Puzzle With Only One (Obvious) Letter Left

The new season of Wheel of Fortune already has a blunder for the ages. During Monday night’s episode, iconic and outgoing host Pat Sajak had to inform a contestant that they just missed a puzzle letter with their brutally incorrect answer. It was pretty rough

After Vanna White turned over all but one of the letters, the board read, “DINING IN THE DINING _ AR” for the category “What Are You Doing” That category name would prove to be wildly prescient as contestant Jessica Washington went for the solve and whiffed it.

According to TV Insider, Washington guessed, “Dining in the dining jar,” which was obviously not correct as the next contestant went right for the “C” and nailed the correct answer, “Dining in the dining car.”

Over on social media, Wheel Watchers couldn’t believe what they just saw. The shocked reactions and jokes started flying after watching Jackson miss such an easy clue. Although, at least one Wheel of Fortune fan came to Jackson’s aid.

“To be fair, I’m pretty sure the last time anyone dined in the dining car was 1954,” Flannery O’Gooner tweeted.
