In May 2017, a “Wheel of Fortune” puzzle left the nation baffled, as a screenshot shared on Twitter by a podcast host went viral, amassing over 40,000 likes and 13,000 retweets. The tweet ignited a flurry of humorous and inappropriate guesses like “Suck it dork,”

“Duck at work,” and “Return to Zork,” drawing laughter and even attention from those indifferent to the show. The host appreciated the creativity, saying, “I really appreciate all the replies and quote tweets of this with alternate jokes. Can’t get enough of it!” The correct answer, “back at work,” was guessed in just one minute.

This wasn’t the show’s only viral moment in 2017. Earlier, a contestant’s hilarious misguess of “A Streetcar Named Desire” as “A Streetcar Naked Desire” and another’s “popsicle bike” for “honeysuckle bush” had social media buzzing.

Fans and even non-fans of the show took to Twitter to express their amusement, with comments ranging from disbelief to offers of buying the contestants a beer. These episodes highlight how “Wheel of Fortune” puzzles can captivate and entertain a wide audience, proving that sometimes, the wrong answers are just as memorable as the correct ones.
