Wheel of Fortune treated fans to a memorable, infuriating, hilarious puzzle-solving moment on Tuesday. The board took three contestants eight turns and 10 attempts to solve what seemed to be a simple puzzle. “Another feather _n yo_r _a_” had been revealed, with “Another feather in your cap” being the correct answer.

While there were three bad spins, the bad guesses were hard for viewers to take.

Contestant Laura Machado started out with the most promise, guesssing, “Another feather in your hat.” Unfortunately her other guesses — “another feather in your lap” and “another feather in your map” — were not quite on target.

Contestant Christopher Coleman failed to guess a correct letter or solve puzzle and he landed on a Bankrupt with his turns. Thomas Lipscomb landed on Bankrupt and Lose a Turn his first two times up but nailed his third attempt when he guessed "C" and correctly solved the puzzle.

Social media erupted over the gaffe-filled round. Even Frozen star Josh Gad was transfixed, tweeting, “God, help us all.”

I don’t know who keeps the statistics for Wheel of Fortune, but I’ve never seen someone attempt to solve the same puzzle three times during regular play. So maybe it was a historic night?

Wheel of Fortune is a syndicated show which airs weekdays. Please visit the show’s site for local listings of time and channel.
