‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Player Has Hard Luck Bonus Round
When watching at home, the Bonus Round on Wheel of Fortune is an exciting moment. However, while it is often not always hard to guess from the couch, the players in the game are in a pressure-filled environment. When things don’t go right, it can ruin their games.
That happened last week on the hit game show when a woman had the worst luck in the world in the Bonus Game, which cost her the win. Here is what happened.
Woman Has Terrible Bonus Game Luck On Wheel Of Fortune
On Wheel of Fortune, the Bonus Round is where the big prize money is found. The way the game works is that the show will offer up five consonants and one vowel. The contestant then has to choose three more consonants and one more vowel. They then have 10 seconds to solve the puzzle.
On Thursday’s Wheel of Fortune episode, a woman named Kris Dillon, an Army veteran, got a chance to play the Bonus Round. She chose “Phrase,” and after Ryan had the game show’s choice of letters added to the four-word puzzle, it showed, “-E / –T / -T / —.”
Ryan seemed impressed and said that there were only seven more letters needed to finish the puzzle and asked Kris to choose her letters. Kris chose “M, D, B, and A.” She also had a Wildcard wedge, so she got an extra letter, which she used to choose “W.”
Ryan said that she had five letters to choose from instead of four, so he felt good for her. Then things went bad. The only letter she got was the “W” (the bonus letter), and there was only one of them.

The puzzle board then read: “WE / –T / -T / —.” There wasn’t much to choose from, but Kris made a great guess with “We Got It Now.” That wasn’t it, so she tried “We Got It Done, We Let It Go,” but she wasn’t able to figure it out. The answer was, “We Hit It Off.”
Kris would have won $40,000. However, she still went home with a trip to Aruba. When Wheel of Fortune shared the puzzle clip on YouTube, fans were all on Kris’s side and felt bad for her bad luck letter picks.
- “Hope Kris has a great trip to Aruba! She definitely needed more letters, especially with the Wild Card. At least she tried hard.”
- “That was harder than it looks. Because of the various combos that can be played.”
- “‘M’ and ‘B’ were questionable choices, weren’t they? ‘Me but’? ‘Me bit’?”
