I\u2019m gonna go lie down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing\u2019s funnier to me than Wheel of Fortune fails,&#8221; added another. &#8220;Unlike Jeopardy it\u2019s literally spelled out for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey, Wheel of Fortune contestant who just tried to fill in A STREETCAR NA_ED DESIRE with a K, DM me &#8211; I&#8217;ll buy you a beer or 20,&#8221; chimed in a third.<\/p>\n<p>Only a few weeks later, a &#8220;Wheel of Fortune&#8221; contestant captured national attention for yet another entertaining puzzle and answer, Thrillist reports.<\/p>\n<p>In April, contestants were given the word, &#8220;_O_EYS_CK_E B_S_&#8221; under the category &#8220;living things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Many were amused to say the least hearing the woman&#8217;s guess,&#8221;popsicle bike&#8221; when the correct answer was &#8220;honeysuckle bush.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what I was saying,&#8221; the contestant later admitted, the Dallas Observer reports. &#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s because I saw a &#8216;K&#8217; at the bottom, but I&#8217;m like OK, let&#8217;s move on. So I didn&#8217;t think about it, but my daughter&#8217;s like, &#8216;That&#8217;s gonna go all over.'&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sources: Simplemost, Twitter&#8217;s Good Boy\/Twitter, Twitter via TIME Magazine, Thrillist, Dallas Observer Note: we are republishing this story which originally made the news in May 2017.
