It only took one letter for him to completely solve the puzzle, leaving members of the audience totally stunned!

Wheel of Fortune continues to do one of the most popular game shows in American history. Along with Jeopardy!, which came out at the same time, this show has entertained millions of people for many decades now.

One of the main reasons why Wheel of Fortune remains so popular is because the tandem of Pat Sajak and Vanna White remains an extremely popular tandem. However, as long as this show has been running, there have been few instances where a man has solved the show with just a few letters, but this was ONE particular instance.

For example, there was one episode on March 14, 2019 where a man solved a puzzle entitled “Streetcar Named Desire” with only six letters on the board! Everyone in the audience and at home was totally shocked when this man pulled it off!

It just goes to show you that you never know what might happen on this fascinating show. You could absolutely be up against a contestant who solves the puzzle with just a few letters, or you could be squaring off against a contestant who solves it on their first try, or YOU could even be that contestant! So that’s why you should keep trying to get on the show to see if you will win BIG.

However, this solution in 2019 was probably one of the best in the show’s history. The contestant was named Rufus, and Pat Sajak didn’t give him much of a chance to solve the puzzle. However, he not only solved it, but he did it so quickly that Sajak went over and shook Rufus’ hand after the brilliant solve!

Sajak proceeded to tell Rufus that his guess was “really something” and compared it to a good luck charm. “Excellent solve,” Sajak continued. “Excellent job.”

Rufus took home $1700 from that round with a total of $7,100 in winnings. He ultimately competed in the bonus round for $100,000 for winnings.

…and to think all he needed was just one letter…
