Wheel Of Fortune Contestant Makes Silly Guesses During Final Puzzle

Last week was Veterans' Week on Wheel of Fortune. In first place was an oddball contest named Nura, who made some quirky guesses during the "Final Spin" segment on a recent episode. She guessed the letters Z, U, and X, and also had two guesses go by without actually saying anything.

I honestly cannot remember ever seeing that before, but astute viewers are theorizing that Nura actually threw the final round to allow Scott, the red player, to score some cash. He entered the round with zero dollars, and as Nura had already secured about $14,000 in cash and prizes, nobody was going to catch her. It's either a terrible performance or a terribly noble performance, but it's wonderful viewing regardless.

Also special shout out to Nura's Final Puzzle segment: she had no clue what the answer was, so she just went "I enjoyed myself" during the 10-second countdown. So wonderful.

This Dude's Wheel of Fortune Guess Is What Dreams Are Made Of

Outside of The Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune is probably the game show I'd most like to be on. I find myself solving the puzzles fairly easily, and it would really just come down to my spinning technique (which, if my recent foray into spinning a wheel in order to earn a free hamburger is any indication, is below-average, at best).

But even I would have had difficulty with this puzzle that a contestant named Emil saw in the final bonus round. Three words: three letters, four letters and five letters. All he got were the first two letters, "NE." Then a few seconds later, he had won $45,000 and had Pat Sajak frisking him. What an evening!
