A “Wheel Of Fortune” puzzle went viral after podcast host shared a screenshot on social media which had the whole nation scratching its head.

From its humble beginnings as a daytime show in the 1970s to its cult following today, Wheel of Fortune has earned the nickname “America’s Game.”

But Wheel of Fortune left viewers gawping at their TV screens after appearing to show a very rude phrase.

Fans of the long-running US edition of the program tried to solve it with some offering up some naughty answers.

In the episode, a woman was playing her bonus round when the odd puzzle popped up.

With the given letters, as well as those she picked, the puzzle read: “- -CK – T – ORK.”

Taking to social media, one viewer guessed, “SUCK IT DORK”, while another woman thought the answer might be, “F*** IT WORK”.

Fellow audience members quickly joined in the guessing game online.

Comical suggestions included: “PICK AT PORK”, “SICK AT WORK”, “LICK IT FORK”, “HECK IT BORK” and “LICK IT DORK”.

My mothers answer to this was lick it dork. But suck it dork works too. https://t.co/GdP2smdX9M

Watched this tonight and my thought was “suck it work,” so I was very impressed when the contestant got “back at work” in less than 1 sec. https://t.co/4b86t1jv88

Fortunately, the contestant was sharp and correctly guessed the correct answer in a matter of seconds.

The actual correct answer was “BACK AT WORK”, which the contestant guessed just in time before buzzer sounds.

This is not the first time this year “Wheel of Fortune” has taken the internet by storm.

There was the time in March 2017 that contestant Kevin Haas chose a single incorrect letter, vastly altering the Tennessee Williams classic mistakenly confused “A Streetcar Named Desire” for “A Streetcar Naked Desire”.

However, no contestant can beat this guy. Perhaps no Wheel of Fortune fail was as awesomely awkward as the poor contestant who botched not one, not two but three puzzles in one show.
