The Connecticut man featured on Monday’s (11 November) showing alongside Kitina Thomas and Chantel Toran, all of whom were playing for the jackpot.
TV host Ryan Seacrest was on hand to ask the group if they could figure out the missing letters to a pretty common phrase, as the tiles read: “_ _ _ E _OURSE_F A ROUN_ OF A_ _ _ AUSE.”
Quick to put his hand up, Will came up with the most incredibly wrong guess.
Watch below:
Viewers were stunned when Will answered with: ‘Treat yourself a round of sausage’, which was clearly not the answer, no matter how much we wanted it to be.
After all, you can’t beat a good German bratwurst at the Christmas markets.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, the correct answer was ‘Give yourself a round of applause’, guessed by fellow contestant Kitina.
“Will, I kind of like yours better,” the host joked.
“That sounds better than just clapping right now.”

Maggie Sajak, the daughter of former host Pat Sajak, said: “Alright Will, we had a little missolve in the first game.
“That’s okay! Could you walk me through how you’re feeling?”
And to be fair to Will, he took it brilliantly, adding: “I tell you, when the lights are on, and you know, the stars and Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White… I just went blank.
“But, if your dad, in retirement, is watching this show, maybe cracks a beer and gets a laugh, it was worth it.”
The clip has been shared thousands of times on social media, as the show captioned their post: “Playing ‘Wheel of Fortune’ on stage is a whole different ball game than playing at home, but Will was a great sport about his missolve! #misssolve #WheelOfFortune.”

Thankfully, Will didn’t leave empty-handed, winning a whopping $8,000 (£6,296) by finishing in third place.
Runner-up Kitina got $10,500 (£8,263), while winner Chantel got $13,000 (£10,230).
Commenting on the blunder on X, one fan said: “I was SCREAMING at the TV!! That wasn’t the only ridiculous flub he made!!!”
7News also tweeted: “This could go down as one of the worst guesses on the Wheel of Fortune of all time.”
While another added: “So funny! I bet it’s hard when the cameras and lights are on you.”
“Happens to everyone, but that’s funny. The way he held back a laugh too. Whoops,” someone else penned.

When you’re slothing out on the sofa, it seems easy to just shout out answers at a quiz show and get them right.
But in reality, we’re not all the smart ar*es we think think we are. Stop lying to yourselves, lads.
Sure, you might think you’d smash The 1% Club but being on the popular TV show would probably be harder than you expect.
And that’s summed up well by the amount of us who end up baffled by questions.
Or, we kick off and stick to thinking the answer ‘can’t be right’, like with a question that fewer than two in 10 people can answer.
Jim Jefferies asked the challenging question. (7Plus)
The 1% Club sees 100 members of the public (in this case, the Aussies) putting their logic, common sense and intelligence to the test.
As contestants become fewer and fewer as the questions go on, any contestant who can correctly answer a question that only one percent of the nation got right will win a share of up to £100,000 cash.
In one episode, only 15 percent of people where able to come up with something for the question that was soon reposted to social media because of how tricky it was, racking up plenty of confused comments.
Would you get it? (7Plus)
Host Jim Jefferies asked: “Frodo has forgotten his hotel room number. All he remembers is that it had at least one ‘nine’. If the hotel has rooms numbered one to 100, how many might be Frodo’s?”
Reckon that’s easy enough? Have a proper think, lads.
So, the answer for this was 19. Did you get that?
Now, pretend we’re back at school, ‘let’s work it out together’.
The answer includes the numbers nine, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79 and 89, plus all the ten rooms from 90 to 99, making 19 possible rooms in total.
But plenty of users on TikTok said they’d been totally thrown off as they were ‘confidently saying 10 and forgetting everything between 90-98’.
And others won’t accept 19 is the right answer as they slammed: “I said 18 because they said at least one 9 so I thought 99 can’t be right.”
Another wrote: “Incorrect 18 should the answer, he knows it can’t b a single digit #. 9 shouldn’t b an answer. just saying lol.”
With others asking: “If it says at least one nine does that not mean there’s another number beside it and nine on it’s own doesn’t count?”
Where as one threw in the mind f**k: “I said 1 because the question asked how many might be Frodo’s. It didn’t ask how many room Frodo has to check.”

The man who was behind the most liked Instagram photo ever revealed that it was all a ‘fluke’.
Social media was a lot more simple a few years ago – think back to a time pre-TikTok, when Instagram reigned supreme as the most popular app among phone users.
Short viral videos were associated with the deceased social media app known as Vine, while we were all about getting the perfect snap for golden hour and making collages on our Instagram stories.
However, one man wanted to take the app over, with one post anyway, and succeeded with nothing but a simple egg.

Back in 2019, Kylie Jenner broke the Instagram record for having the most likes on a single post after sharing a photo of her newborn baby Stormi’s hand holding her thumb, with over 18 million likes at the time.
But with the thinking of Chris Godfrey, an advertising executive from London, and his pals Alissa Khan-Whelan and CJ Brown, things were about to change.
They decided to hatch a plan by seeing if they could knock Kylie off the podium with nothing but a picture of a plain egg.
Alongside the image, they wrote: “Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram. Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner (18 million)! We got this.”
And much to everyone’s surprise, the plan worked – soon enough, the picture rose to online fame and quickly toppled the influencer from the top spot.
At the time, the post received 19 million likes, but this figure soon jumped to over 50 million, with it now sitting on over 61 million. Pretty impressive, eh?
The famous egg in question (Instagram/@world_record_egg)
But the story doesn’t end there. Shortly after the image first came into existence, two more photos appeared on the same account showing the famous egg starting to crack.
Days after the mysterious posts, the world found out that the egg – who’s called Eugene apparently – was cracking under the weight of pressure from social media fame and it was all part of a publicity campaign for Mental Health America.
In an advert aired during the 2019 Super Bowl on Hulu, the egg (complete with a little face and everything) said: “I’m the world record egg (you may have heard of me).
“Recently I’ve started to crack. The pressure of social media is getting to me.”
It added: “If you’re struggling too, talk to someone. We got this,” before highlighting the contact details for the mental health organisation (mentalhealthamerica.net).

Back in 2019, Chris – who was 29 years old at the time – spoke to The New York Times about the stunt and how it went on to become a viral sensation.
Prior to this, Andrew Essex, chief executive and founder of Plan A, a creative holding company, told the outlet: “The fact that they were able to get a lot of people to look at a picture of the egg – it was the ultimate anomaly, just a complete freak event.”
He added: “This is the quintessential fluke. It’s not replicable. It’s not replicable and it’s not sustainable. With all due respect.”
Although Chris agreed with the statement, he said: “But it’s a fluke that caught the world’s attention. It’s what you do with that attention that counts.”
Now, Messi holds top spot for the most-liked Instagram photo following his post after winning the World Cup in 2022, with Eugene the egg at number two.
It’s nice to see that they used the egg’s power for good, though. Cracking stuff.

A man is just days away from completing one of the greatest physical achievements in human history.
No, it’s not opening a can with a broken tin opener or drinking a mammoth number of pints; it’s the bloke running the length of Africa.
After well over 300 days, Russ Crook is nearly at the end of his ‘Project Africa’.
Also known as ‘The Hardest Geezer’ on social media, he’s essentially running the equivalent of over 360 marathons by going from the south of the continent all the way up to north.
The man from Worthing has had his fair few setbacks along the long, long way with the goal of doing it in 240 days having been adjusted.
X/@hardestgeezer
But Russ reckons, and it’s looking pretty likely, that he’s going to finish his mega mission this Sunday (7 April).
He shared a snap from day 349 yesterday, claiming he had clocked a whopping ’19 million steps’ ahead of the ‘finish line this Sunday’.
The geezer has been raising money for The Running Charity and Sandblast during his project, racking up over £500k so far – over half of his target goal.
Starting off in South Africa, if all goes to plan he’ll be reaching the tip top of Algeria by the end of this weekend.
Although Russ did have quite the issue getting himself into Algeria earlier this year.
X/@hardestgeezer
He took to social media that while he would be running through the absolute sweaty heat of the Sahara Desert, he needed to cross the border from Mauritania into the final country on his route.
The bloke already predicted he’d face a problem with this as he told the BBC he reckons getting over that border on foot hadn’t ‘been done by foreigners in a very long time’.
But causing that ‘bit of a problem’ he and those travelling with him hadn’t managed to get visas for Algeria – which would be ‘game over’ for his attempt.
However, thanks to a lot of appeals he wrote on X, he was ‘delighted to finally be in’ the country where he was ‘getting kings treatment’.
Russ had his fair share of safety warnings from those following him along the way, and even ended up with a police escort at one point following getting robbed at gunpoint.
X/@hardestgeezer
Oh, and he said one time he got lost he ended up surrounded by ‘blokes with machetes’. Well, that would get you running faster.
When he does complete his mission this weekend, Russ will celebrate with punk band Soft Play and a party at a hotel in Tunisia. “Get your daiquiris ready girls and boys. This is going to be mega,” he wrote on X.
“Cannot quite believe it but we’ve managed to pull off Soft Play playing the finish line party in Tunisia. Anyone that can get themselves there is welcome.”
