“Wheel of Fortune” fans are infuriated by the longtime game show for using an out-of-the-box procedure as an answer to a contestant’s bonus prize.

On Tuesday night’s episode, a contestant named Angela was only seven letters away from correctly completing and correctly guessing the bonus round puzzle, which would have ultimately sent her home with an additional $45,000.

After guessing the letters “M, H, D and O” to add to “What do you do?” class, she had 10 seconds to solve the puzzle, which read “_O_N_N_THE_R__.”

“Join cramp, join cra-, oh!” You messed up, you almost said “crap.”

“Join the bragging rights?!” I guessed as her final answer.

“Sorry!” Host Pat Sajak, 76, responded by running out of time. “Join the battle,” revealed the correct response.

Sajak encouraged Angela, saying, “I got to join… It was a really nice try,” and revealed that she missed out on the grand prize of $45,000.

“No problem,” she said, holding her head high when Sajjak showed her the large amount she had missed.

While Angela still got $20,563 in winnings from the show, fans on social media criticized the show for choosing the phrase to start with.
