Fans of “Wheel of Fortune” are divided after a contestant named Megan appeared to solve the final puzzle but lost out on $40,000.
The puzzle read “P_N_ _RC_ _ D,” and Megan’s guess was either “Something orchid” or “Pink orchid.”
Viewers disagreed on her exact phrasing.
“I’m sorry that didn’t work out for you,” host Pat Sajak said.
“For those wondering she said, ‘something orchid,'” one X user wrote.
Another user said, “First thing she said was Pink Orchid, so she got it right!!!”
@WheelofFortune she said #PinkOrchid 🧐 #wheeloffortune
