The show involves players spinning an oversized wheel, guessing letters, and solving word-based puzzles.
While most players are great at the game, there have been some epic fails throughout the shows run.
The puzzle read **TE RANKL and the answer was QUITE FRANKLY.

Sajak was chatting with the player in the final segment, as he always does.
He looked at the seemingly difficult puzzle with so many letters still missing and commented Yikes!
Well, Id rather be standing here than there, quite frankly.
Admittedly, Achilles is a tough word to pronounce (ahh-kill-ees).
Ironically, it became, pun intended, his Achilles Heel.
The moment was even worse given how Julian pronounced the word: he said aye-chillis,.
They are two very different things.
But in this episode,Jonny Knowlesmixed them up.
He was visibly upset when Sajak told him he was wrong.
But when the words came out of his mouth, that one just happened to come out wrong.
He later appeared onGood Morning Americaand said he was shocked and confused at the time.
“I was trying to figure out what had just happened.

I thought I said Flamenco.
I was nervous, the nerves got the best of me.
I made a mistake and it happens.

The woman beside him looked at him in disbelief, then gave the right answer.
I dont think anyones ever taken a more superfluous route to victory, Sajak joked, arm around Julian.
But the important thing is youre here.

Ironically enough, Julian still performed well enough to win the game and make it to the final round.
6"Where Is Venice?”
David doubled down, however, when he confidently corrected his mistake by saying France.

At least that time, he named an actual country, but still didnt get the right one.
Fans were rooting for those who fought for the country to perform well, and they did.
He spun and guessed a Y which wasnt on the board.

It was a facepalm moment for all three.
Thehigh schoolerappeared to have it easy.
The puzzle was completely solved but for one missing letter: the board showed FRE*H TROPICAL FRUIT.

She stared what seemed like endlessly at the puzzle, unable to figure it out.
Talluru took a risk and spun again, and questioned her choice by saying Ill go with a G?
Twitter blew up following the airing of the episode with fans asking what a fregh is.

Despite this, it seems there might still be people who dont know his name.
Maybe thats Quentins alter-ego from an alternate universe.
But when she buzzed in and answered self-potato, she immediately realized that what she said made no sense.

She even apologized for the blunder while grimacing.
What makes the moment even more hilarious is that McAuley was a teacher.
She jokingly asked Sajak if she could walk off now, to which he denied her request.

Even after it fell out of my mouth, I wish I could just go and hide.
If nothing else, its a great lesson that everyone makes mistakes.
The puzzle displayed **** I* T*E B**T!

and the answer was THIS IS THE BEST.
Sajak wasnt sure how to reply, quietly collecting himself after declaring that answer was wrong.
He joked that the team behind-the-scenes would figure out a way to handle that tastefully in the editing process.
Twitter was calling for Tavaris to be added to the game shows Hall of Fame for the hilarious moment.
He even said he goes up to random people and shows them the video to help make their day.
They just break out laughing; it is great.
