'Wheel Of Fortune' Viewers Left Cringing After Contestants Can't Figure Out Mostly-Solved Puzzle
Wheel Of Fortune

Fewer things are more painful than watching game show contestants flounder from the prison that is your couch at home.

All you want to do is jump in and help, and yet you can only watch.


This pain was experienced by viewers on a grand scale on Tuesday night's Wheel Of Fortune, where contestants were stuck against a puzzle with only three letters remaining and failed to solve it.




The three contestants made several attempts to solve the puzzle unsuccessfully, culminating in one contestant's bankruptcy.

Multiply that pressure by knowing you're being watched by millions of people and a live studio audience, crew and a pair of hosts you've watched for years and it's almost hopeless.

Pressure and competition is abound on TV game shows, no less on Wheel Of Fortune, and the stakes are high, so though it may be tempting to run to Twitter and proverbially slap around the people who aren't getting the answers right, give folks a little grace.

And also remember there are a surprising amount of three letter words than end in "AP."

Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
