A Wheel of Fortune contestant has left the live audience stunned after her wildly incorrect guess of the final remaining letter in a puzzle. On a recent episode of the long-running game show, a vacation to the tropical island of Antigua was on the line and all that stood between 10th-grader contestant Khushi and the prize was a single letter. Khushi was working towards solving the puzzle in the Food & Drink category. After correct guesses, she was left with two remaining letters, which at that moment read: "FRE_ _ TROPICAL FRUIT." The contestant then guessed an "H" - which filled in the last letter of the first word - and was now left with the puzzle as "FRE_H TROPICAL FRUIT." As obvious as the answer looked, the teenager still appeared perplexed. Watch the moment below: [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/ChadMosher/status/1627825531457609736]] "Solve it or spin it or... but do something quickly," host Pat Sajak said as the clock ran down - prompting her to have another turn of the wheel. Khushi decided to spin the wheel and guess one more letter, however, it become pretty obvious that she had no idea what the phrase was and incorrectly guessed that the missing letter was a G. As soon as the teenager said that, someone in the audience groaned and loudly yelled "what," wondering how she got the answer so wrong. Khushi then realized her blunder seconds before the buzzer went off. However, it was too late for her after the other contestant Juliana capitalized on the mistake and solved the puzzle as soon as she could. She then earned the opportunity to go to the Caribbean island and $650. A clip of the unfortunate moment was shared on social media, where one game show fan wrote: "That person in the audience is all of our spirit animals when we watch this show."

It happens to the best of us."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/kenyaislove/status/1627952558642982913]] After Khushi got the letter wrong, the host addressed the elephant in the room and said that sometimes contestants can sometimes forget the answer, even when it appears obvious to viewers. "You know when that happens and you’re sitting at home saying, 'How in the world can that happen' you know, sometimes it is a word that just doesn’t want to come into focus for you," Sajak said. <h6>Featured image credit: Bruce McGowan / Alamy</h6>
