'Wheel of Fortune' fans took to social media to express their disbelief after a contestant's mistake cost her over $7,000.

'Wheel of Fortune' fans vented their frustration on social media after a contestant's mistake cost her $7,250. During Tuesday's episode of the long-running game show, contestant Kimberly Wright from Apopka, Florida, failed to complete a puzzle when she picked the wrong letter. When the puzzle board read 'D U _ _ - _ _ L L E D PLATYPUS,' Wright chose to spin the wheel and landed on the Express wedge.

Where did this lady think an F was going to go in this puzzle?' another social media user wondered. A fan wrote, 'wheel of fortune puzzle was clearly duck-billed platypus and the lady asked for an F she’s like reverse autocorrect.' 'A Duck-Filled Platypus!?' one fan chimed in. Oh, I hope Red isn't on social media. She gonna get blasted for missing that puzzle,' another viewer commented. 'Wheel of Fortune' legend Pat Sajak hosted the episode, which was aired almost a month after he taped his final episode. After more than four decades as host, Sajak’s final episode will air on Friday, June 7, according to Deadline. The farewell episode was taped on April 5th. In June 2023, Sajak announced that he was exiting the show.
