Wheel of Fortune Player Flubs Puzzle Pronunciation, Loses Thousands

We have good news for the following Wheel of Fortune contestant:

Previous contestants have messed up worse than this. (See pieces of footage below.)

But we also have bad news for this Wheel of Fortune contestant:

This is still a pretty terrible screw-up.

On Monday evening"s edition of this beloved game show, a man named Jonny, was doing very well, filling in the final letters of the puzzle, “Flamenco Dance Lessons."

All the guy had to do was read the completed puzzle out loud to solve it and win $ 7,100.

Easy peasy, right? Not quite.

Unfortunately for Jonny, he said “flamingo” instead of “flamenco.” 

It was a small slip-up, but not small enough to not be noticed.

Host Pat Sajak called Jonny out for the mistake, allowing fellow contestant Ashley a shot at the solve and awarding her $ 1,000 for reading the puzzle correctly.

Jonny looked confused and stricken as Sajack explained the mispronunciation and promised to review the play during the commercial break.

Earlier in this same episode, Jonny landed on the $ 2,500 mark and was two letters from solving the puzzle, whose final words read as follows:

“Dog and Pony Show Me the Money."

At the time, it was missing the letters "g" and "p."

But Jonny asked for a "c" and also failed to win that round. Ouch.

As you can see above, plenty of Wheel of Fortune players have screwed up even worse than Jonny.

But that probably isn"t of much comfort right now to him.

Watch the mishap below and join us in feeling terrible for poor Jonny:

Panda-Snowmen Puzzle Leaves Internet Stumped, Irate

It’s been several months since the Internet went totally and completely insane over the color of a dress.

So clearly it’s time for another brain-teaser to drive every man, woman and child out of their minds, right?

This one comes to us from a Hungarian cartoonist named Gergely Dudas.

His pen name is Dudolf; he created the image on Wednesday, December 16; and he then shared it on his Facebook page.

The puzzle has since garnered over 112,000 Shares and over 52,000 Likes… although we’re not sure if anyone actually likes it.

Based on the responses we’ve seen thus far online, most folks appear to either hate it, really hate it or REALLY, REALLY hate it.

All we’re being asked to do here is to find a single panda bear from among a great many snowmen.

No problem, right? A panda looks nothing at all like a snowman, right?

Okay, sure. Keep thinking that.

Then, feast your eyes on this black-and-white-and-white-and-black-and-black-and-white-again-and-oh-my-effin-God-where-is-the-panda????!?!?!?!?! image and then get right back to us, okay?

(HINT: Keep your eyes on the right side of the puzzle. That’s all we’re going to say. And, no, it didn’t take us the last seven hours just to narrow it down that much. We have no idea why you would think that.)
