A Wheel of Fortune The contestant drew a blank on a bonus puzzle worth $75,000, which many viewers weren't shy about saying they knew. But the contestant's mere presence in the bonus round was extremely close; He won the game by just $100.

On Monday's November 4 episode, Kenneth Blount-Hames, a 13-year-old flight attendant from Charlotte, North Carolina, via Atlanta, Georgia, advanced to the bonus round after one of the closest episodes in history. He finished with $18,850, ahead of his rival Darren, who finished with $18,750.

He chose “Phrase” and joined host Ryan Seacrest to solve the five-word puzzle. It read: '_E' '_ _ _ E' 'T_ _ T' '_N' '_ _ _ _ _ N'. Unlike most “phrase” puzzles, this one was tedious and long in the way that only a limited number of phrases tend to be, with only one long word at the end.

After selecting “WCDO”, the puzzle was “WE' '_ _ _ E' 'T_ _ T' '_N' 'CO _ _ O N'. Seacrest noted, “The floor; helpful,” and Vanna White smiled encouragingly. But when the 10-second timer started, Kenneth was unable to make a complete guess.

The timer ticked down and the puzzle was displayed as: “THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE IN COMMON.” Seacrest used his gold prize card to reveal that Kenneth had missed out on an additional $75,000, causing him to walk out of the picture and say, “Oh my God “ exclaimed.

The game show shared the huge failure on YouTube, where many fans had something in common in the comments; He knew the riddle while Kenneth didn't.

“The RSTLNE was already enough for me to solve it,” wrote one fan.

“I got it without Kenny’s letters!” wrote another.

“I figured this out in like six seconds,” wrote a third.

“I got it, it was easy,” wrote a fourth.
