It was easy to forgive a Wheel of Fortune contestant on Tuesday's episode who failed to solve a puzzle featuring a commonly misheard song lyric.

But the audience found it difficult to cut some slack for the three contestants on Wednesday night's episode who took forever and a day to solve a presumably easy puzzle with one missing letter left in the four-word-phrase.

The category featuring the head-scratcher was "What are you doing?"–which is probably what viewers at home were yelling at their TV screens.

Contestants Seann, Michele, and Crystal had a heck of a time trying to solve:

“RENTING A PEDA_ BOAT.”

It goes without saying the missing letter was an "L", but that option clearly went over the players' heads.

You can watch a clip of the moment, below.

Seann guessed, “Renting a Paddle Boat," Michelle said the missing letter was an "M"–which it was not, and Crystal thought a "W" would complete the phrase and still somehow make sense.

It didn't.

Finally, Seann redeemed himself and correctly solved the puzzle by saying, "Rental a Pedal Boat."

Earlier this month, Pat Sajak defended contestants who were ridiculed online for failing to solve the puzzle for "Another Feather In Your Cap" with only three missing letters.

In response to the subsequent trolling online, Sajak wrote a series of tweets asking fans to "have a little heart" for contestants who are under "a kind stress that you can't even begin to appreciate from the comfort of your couch."

While the rare display of compassion from our usually sardonic host was appreciated, it didn't stop the mockery to commence in response to Wednesday's episode.








Some acknowledged the puzzle was still an easy one to get wrong.




A special shout-out goes to the always exquisite Vanna White. The hostess of the popular game show has always exuded warmth, a calming presence, and never given a judgemental look at clueless contestants while revealing tiles on the board since 1982.

Could you maintain decorum with as much elegance as her when things go awry at the wheel?

But when it comes to featuring a gay kiss in commercial blockbusters meant for the general mass audience, studios remain skittish and tend to leave such scenes on the cutting room floor.

Elon Musk Sued For Fraud By Petition Signers Over Million Dollar Vote Buying Scheme

Three proposed class-action lawsuits have been filed against billionaire Elon Musk alleging that his political action committee, America PAC, engaged in fraudulent practices. The lawsuits claim the PAC misled voters by promising a random $1 million cash prize, even though the winners were allegedly predetermined.

Musk established America PAC in October to back President-elect Donald Trump’s successful presidential campaign. The PAC reportedly targeted Trump supporters in battleground states, encouraging them to share personal information and sign an online petition advocating for "free speech and the right to bear arms" in exchange for a chance to win the prize.

After President-elect Donald Trump chose Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz for his Attorney General, conservative commentator Ben Domenech—the co-founder of The Federalist and editor-at-large of The Spectator World—did not hold back with a warning to anyone who votes to confirm him.

Domenech highlighted that Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded on Wednesday when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
