Wheel of Fortune viewers went wild during Monday’s (November 11) Veterans Day episode when a contestant gave what many deemed the “biggest” and most “hilarious” wrong answer of the history of the series.

The candidate in question was Will Jordan, a 23-year Coast Guard veteran and now police officer from Wethersfield, Connecticut, who is also a school resource officer. He was up against Chantel Toran, an Army Reserve veteran from Middleburg, Florida, and Kitina Thomas, a retired Air Force veteran from San Antonio, Texas.

Jordan’s hilariously incorrect guess came during the first round in the “Phrase” category. Once the first letters were filled in, players were presented with a six-word phrase that read: “_ _ _ E / _ OURSE _ F / A / ROUN _ / OF / A _ _ _ AUS E.”

“I would like to solve this problem,” Jordan said with all the confidence in the world. He then gave what many called the “biggest” wrong answer ever when he guessed: “Treat yourself to a round of sausages.”

Clearly, it was a mistake to allow Thomas to take control of the steering wheel and give the correct response: “Give yourself a round of applause.”

“Yeah, that’s it,” host Ryan Seacrest said. “But, Will, I prefer yours.” This seems better than just clapping now.

Fans flooded social media with reactions to Jordan’s hilarious guess, with one X user calling it “one of the best answers ever.”

“This whole episode was painful to watch. On the other hand, I’m craving a Maxwell Polish now,” another joked.

“The way the kids at Will’s school will NEVER let him forget ‘treat yourself to a round of sausages,'” another commenter added.

Another added: “Tonight one of the most hilarious failed puzzle solves in #WheelofFortune history happened. »

“I can’t breathe, I was laughing so hard. He was so confident too. “I would like to solve!” said one Reddit user.

“That’s the best guess I’ve ever heard,” one fan wrote.

“This is the best thing I’ve ever seen,” said another.

“Clap your hands after eating a slice of sausage,” another joked.

“I was literally screaming with laughter, I was losing my mind,” said another.

Talk to Maggie Sajak after the episode, Jordan said, “I’m sure I’ll have sausages in my locker and in my police car when I get back.”

The sausage response wasn’t Jordan’s only mistake of the night. Other fans pointed out how he kept guessing the letter “K” in puzzles that made no sense, including “STA_ING/OUT/AT/T_E/OCEA N.” Maybe the police officer has already done surveillance at sea?

“Oh my God, he did it twice!” Why the letter k, I was totally screaming at the TV like crazy,” one Reddit user wrote.

Fortunately, Jordan’s constant “K” guesses finally paid off in the final puzzle, and he was able to correctly answer “GLUES/AND/HEMLINES” for $8,000.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to stop him from finishing last in the episode. Instead, Toran won the episode and advanced to the bonus round; however, she missed out on the $100,000 grand prize after failing to solve the “ONL_NE/__CT_ON” puzzle like “Online Auction”.
