"Quick update: So, to make this week even more fun, I also got sick!" Schneider shared on Twitter Wednesday night. "I'm feeling mostly better now, but I'm going to extend my posting break through tomorrow."

In a second tweet, the record-breaking contestant assured fans and followers that she'll be back to tweeting about Jeopardy! soon. "For now, just know that a) I'm fine b) I fully intend to post full game threads for every episode, and c) I'm so so grateful for all the support I've received! See you soon!" Schneider wrote.
