In a comical moment that left both the audience and host Ryan Seacrest in stitches, a contestant on the latest episode of Wheel of Fortune made a wildly incorrect guess that is destined to become an internet sensation. The episode aired this past Monday, and the clip has since skyrocketed in popularity, garnering over 500,000 views shortly after it was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

The contestant, identified as Will, was faced with an almost complete puzzle that read, “___E _OURSE_F A ROUN_ OF A___AUSE.” With an apparent lack of clarity, Will blurted out, “Treat yourself a round of sausage,” a guess that baffled both the audience and his fellow players. It quickly became apparent that his answer was not just incorrect—it was a hilarious mash-up that left everyone chuckling.

Fellow contestant Kitina eventually solved the puzzle with the correct answer: “Give yourself a round of applause.” This prompted Seacrest to joke with Will, saying, “I kind of like yours better.” Adding some humor to the mix, Seacrest remarked that Will's response sounded “better than just clapping right now,” further broadcasting the light-hearted nature of the moment.

The viral clip sparked a deluge of social media reactions. One user humorously expressed envy over those who could “TREAT YOURSELF A ROUND OF SAUSAGE" on a daily basis, adding a playful hashtag related to the game show.

The show’s Instagram account also seized the opportunity to engage with fans by sharing a clip featuring Will alongside Maggie Sajak, the daughter of former host Pat Sajak. In an amusing exchange, Maggie pointed out Will's “little missolve,” and he candidly shared his nervousness, citing the pressure of being on stage with bright lights, Seacrest, and Vanna White, which led to his brain freeze.

Will amusingly speculated that perhaps Pat Sajak was laughing at his blunder from home, saying, “It was all worth it.” As a consolation gift, Seacrest surprised him with an oversized autograph on one of the show's cue cards—a memento from his unforgettable moment on stage.

“Playing Wheel of Fortune on stage is a whole different ball game than playing at home, but Will was a great sport about his missolve!” the show captioned the post, underscoring the fun spirit of the game.

This light-hearted incident not only highlights the unpredictability of game shows but also showcases the joy and laughter they can bring, reminding us all that sometimes it’s the blunders that make the best memories. So, next time you find yourself watching Wheel of Fortune, remember: a “little missolve” might just turn you into a viral sensation!
