A painfully funny Wheel of Fortune round had three contestants completely stumped by the common phrase “another feather in your cap.” Laura started strong, quickly revealing most of the puzzle with some smart letter choices. But when it came time to solve, she guessed “another feather in your hat,” which was not only wrong, but also wasted a guess on letters that were already on the board.
Then came a string of wild attempts. Christopher guessed wrong letters and skipped the obvious answer. Thomas hit a bankrupt and lost his shot. Laura got another turn and guessed “lap,” then later tried “map.” The audience and even host Pat Sajak seemed stunned by how long it was taking. Christopher spun again instead of solving and went bankrupt, clearly out of ideas. Thomas finally ended the chaos by guessing “cap,” solving the puzzle and drawing a mix of relief and confusion from the group.
The whole segment turned into a bizarre guessing game that dragged on far longer than it should have. Viewers who knew the phrase had to watch each wrong guess in disbelief. The moment went viral because of how easily avoidable it was, with everyone missing the obvious for several turns. By the end, it felt like a win just to hear the correct answer.
