A Wheel Of Fortune contestant has gone viral for offering up a NSFW answer to a puzzle on the American game show.
In the show’s opening segment, contestants were asked to solve the phrase puzzle as quickly as possible as letters appeared on the board.
Parts of the four word phrase, “_ _ _ _ _N T_E _ _ _T!,” were on the board when a contestant, Tavaris, quickly buzzed to solve the puzzle.
“Right in the butt?” guessed Tavares, much to the shock of his fellow contestants and the studio audience, who immediately burst into laughter.
“What?” gasped one female player, before the show’s long-time host, Pat Sajak, calmly replied: “No,” managing to keep him composure.
As the crowd was still laughing, contestant Blake solved the puzzle with the correct answer: “This is the best!”
Clips of the amusing moment have since gone viral on social media, with one viewer describing it as the “one of the greatest guesses of all time“.
“Tavaris will never be able to live this one down. So many jokes. Forever,” posted another viewer.

One of the greatest guesses of all time. I immediately texted this to two different countries and another state. I hope #Tavaris gets whatever he hopes for in life. Bless him, the excitable champion rib eater. This is the best! #wheeloffortune pic.twitter.com/7yeN30MK7G

Yes, we saw the Wheel of Fortune clip you can stop sending it to us.

Meanwhile, others pointed out that “right” has five letters, not four.
“I can’t imagine you’ll go very far on wheel of fortune if you can’t spell ‘right’,” one user joked.
The official X/Twitter account for Merriam-Webster – a US publishing company known for its dictionaries – also joined in the fun, posting: “Yes, we saw the Wheel of Fortune clip you can stop sending it to us.”
It comes just weeks before Sajak’s retires as host of the game show, having held the position for 43 years. His final episode will air June 7, and he’ll be replaced by Ryan Seacrest this autumn.
In other TV news, a new reality series titled Buying London – which is inspired by the US show Buying Sunset – has been branded by some critics as the “most hatable show ever”.
