Another night, another controversy on \u201cWheel of Fortune.\u201d Viewers were left shaking their heads after the February 14 episode, calling<\/p>\n
out the bonus round puzzle as unfair\u2014and some even questioned whether it was a real phrase at all.<\/p>\n
The drama unfolded when Conner Kemmsies, a commercial pilot from Lakeside, California, made it to the final round. <\/p>\n
His impressive gameplay earlier in the show had earned him $19,080 in cash and prizes\u2014including a six-day whale-watching cruise to Baja, California, courtesy of National Geographic\u2013Lindblad Expeditions.<\/p>\n
With his wife and family cheering him on, Conner prepared to tackle the bonus round challenge.<\/p>\n
Viewers Call Out \u2018Unfair\u2019 Puzzle Answer<\/p>\n
The final puzzle fell under the category \u201cPhrase,\u201d and after revealing the standard R, S, T, L, N, E letters\u2014along with Conner\u2019s chosen C, M, D, and A\u2014the board looked like this:<\/p>\n
_ D _ D M _ _ _ M E _ _ R _.<\/p>\n
Conner quickly figured out the first part\u2014\u201cI DID MY\u201d\u2014but struggled to complete the phrase. The correct answer?<\/p>\n
Is \u2018I Did My Homework\u2019 Even a Phrase? Fans Say No<\/p>\n
Fans took to social media and YouTube comments to vent their frustration. Many viewers challenged the legitimacy of the phrase, arguing that it sounded more like a regular sentence rather than a well-known expression.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not a phrase, that\u2019s just a sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTook me a second to get it, but seriously, \u2018I did my homework\u2019 isn\u2019t something people say as a phrase.\u201d<\/p>\n
While some viewers insisted the puzzle was \u201ceasy-peasy\u201d, others admitted it was one of the tougher ones in recent memory.<\/p>\n
