Third time’s…. not the charm.
Tuesday’s episode of Wheel of Fortune was brutal for all three contestants, but it was particularly hard on Laura.
The category was phrase.
The puzzle read “A_other feather _n y__r _a_.”
Laura made two three guesses: “Another feather in your hat,” followed by “another feather in your lap,” followed by “another feather in your map.”
Unfortunately, all three of them were wrong.

The wheel was rather unkind to the other two contestants as they kept hitting “bankrupt” and “lose a turn.”
After roughly 6 failed attempts, Thomas finally guessed the letter “c,” which revealed that the puzzle was “Another feather in your cap.”
You can watch the brutal video below:
I’d like to solve… ANOTHER FEATHER IN EVERYTHING BUT YOUR CAP.
Thank you, Wheel, for not editing out 6 of these 8 lost turns in a row like you normally would.#WheelofFortune pic.twitter.com/7MByDsn32p

Naturally, Twitter was up in arms over the disastrous situation.
One fan noted that they are in “utter disbelief.”
The woman on Wheel of Fortune got not one but TWO chances to solve this. First time, she said “…in your LAP.” Second time, she said “MAP.”

Another noted: “What a tremendous disappointment these players have been. They don’t get another feather in their laps, maps or hats!”

Another fan couldn’t get over the fact that she got it wrong “three times.”

Someone else called it the “greatest moment in TV history.”

One Twitter user said the “whole world was” yelling the correct answer at their screen.

It was even worse when you realized that the “h and t were used.”
#WheelOfFortune Omg. I just lost a ton of brain cells trying to watch Laura try to solve that puzzle. ‘Another Feather In Your _a_’
She said lap, map and hat (even though the h and t were used). pic.twitter.com/ANELkZEFtb— Kebert Xela (@Kebert_Xela600) March 2, 2022
But that wasn’t the only viral moment of the night.
In another puzzle, Thomas guessed that the phrase was “Barking Hotdogs,” which set Twitter off completely.
Barking hotdogs?!?! where did they find these people?!?! #WheelOfFortune
