Matt, a Wheel of Fortune contestant, made what might be the worst mistake in the
show’s history. He gave an elaborate performance and won $23,350. Yet, his big
error overshadowed the entire episode. The goal in this round was to complete a
word puzzle quickly. The puzzle was three words in the category “people.”
Matt had two options: guess a letter or the entire sentence. He chose to guess
the letter “N.” The puzzle then looked like this: N_ T – _ N _ R _ T _ _ N TH_.
Matt needed a moment to figure it out. To everyone’s surprise, he guessed
“The Greatest Buttercut.” This answer didn’t even contain an “N.” The correct
answer was “THE NEXT GENERATION.” You can see the amusing error here
