'Wheel of Fortune' Gaffe Leaves Fans Puzzled
Fans called out an awkward moment from a recent episode on the game show.
Wheel of Fortune is (once again) catching heat from its hawk-eyed fans, after a game show gaffe left viewers perplexed during Wednesday night’s episode.
On the March 15 broadcast, contestant Carla racked up a total of $6,750 while spinning the wheel, however the scoreboard appeared to be set to $0 the next time she appeared on screen after correctly guessing several letters in a puzzle.
The technical blunder didn't go unnoticed by the show's beloved fan base, who took to social media to point out how Carla's accumulated total surprisingly "vanished" during her next turn.

"I don’t understand tonight’s show. The gal on the end had $6,750, spun and asked for a "d" which wasn’t in the puzzle. So she should have still had the $6,750…" one disgruntled fan wrote.
In response, another fan said, "I am so glad you said something. I caught that last night too."
"What happened tonight with the woman-in-yellow's money?" one viewer questioned.
Another Twitter user replied saying, “I have no idea where her initial money went!!”
Other viewers also didn't let the mistake go by the wayside.
"Woman named Carla solved ‘A Warm Evening Breeze.’ On her 1st letter she spun $3500 & got 2 R’s for 7k & bought a vowel. She missed a letter. Then it came back to her. She got $1k express & solved but her $6,750 vanished," another commented.
The show has yet to address the error.
This is far from the first time show viewers have called out the long-running game show for minimal errors, or had extreme reactions to contestants' puzzle-solving skills (or lack thereof).
