Wheel of Fortune fans were left puzzled after a player blew a trip to Saint Lucia and arguably the game by repeatedly spinning for more letters on a near-finished prize puzzle instead of solving it, leading to a bankrupt. Adding insult to injury, the player who snagged the trip and won the game instead highlighted his mistake with a snarky comment.

On Tuesday, November 19’s episode, Arlando from Kansas City was making progress in a three-word “Places” prize puzzle, which ensured a trip destination to whoever won it. He kept spinning and landed on the $650 wedge. He picked a “P,” which was a big boost as each word started with a P.” Suddenly, the puzzle read as, “‘P_CTURE’-‘PERFECT’ ‘_E_C_ES.”
