Wheel of Fortune has thrilled viewers for decades with its mix of luck, wordplay, and surprise moments — but one recent episode delivered a jaw-dropping twist that fans won’t soon forget.
During a standard round of play, contestant Caitlyn stunned the audience and left host Pat Sajak momentarily speechless.
With just one letter visible on the board, she confidently asked to solve the puzzle — before Vanna White had even finished revealing the letter she requested.
Earlier, fellow contestant Rick had started the round by choosing the letter “R,” which wasn’t on the board.
While unlucky for him, this gave Caitlyn a slight edge. She called out the letter “L,” and as the board began to update, she immediately signaled she wanted to solve.
Pat, visibly surprised, paused before granting permission — likely thinking there was no way she could pull it off. But Caitlyn proved otherwise.
Incredibly, she nailed the answer, confirming it was a bonus puzzle in the process.
The audience erupted, and even Sajak seemed amazed at her intuition and quick thinking.
It was a rare and unforgettable moment that added a new highlight to the game show’s storied history.
