‘Wheel of Fortune’ Player Turns Heads After Failing To Solve Puzzle With One Letter Left

It was a cringeworthy moment on Wheel of Fortune Tuesday night when contestant Nikol Gamble missed an almost-guaranteed win. Facing a nearly solved puzzle from Moana’s How Far I’ll Go, she guessed “O” instead of the obvious “K,” saying: “See the line where the soy meets the sea.”

The blunder shocked viewers, with social media erupting in disbelief. Host Ryan Seacrest reminded her there were no vowels left, but the damage was done. Fellow contestant Rachael Traywick quickly solved the puzzle: “See the line where the sky meets the sea.”

Gamble finished the night with zero dollars, while Dustin Whittern won $68,880. Vanna White noted it was the longest 12-word puzzle in show history—a historic episode Gamble might want to forget.
