The category was “event,” and the correct answer was “championship match.” The same kind of solve happened a couple of months ago. A contestant only needed to see the letter “E” before he correctly guessed “The Lone Ranger” (the category was “character”). Hopefully moments like these make up for all of the stupid guesses that cause host Pat Sajak to have [a complete meltdown](http://time.com/3578848/pat-sajak-wheel-of-fortune-meltdown-horse/ "undefined"). _Read next:_ [_The 13 Most Uncomfortable_ ](http://time.com/3510552/family-feud-funny-uncomfortable-moments-video/?xid=time%5Freadnext "undefined")[Family Feud _Moments Ever_](http://time.com/3510552/family-feud-funny-uncomfortable-moments-video/?xid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3713413/wheel-of-fortune-puzzle-solved-one-letter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3713413/wheel-of-fortune-puzzle-solved-one-letter/"},"headline":"Watch This Guy Solve a Wheel of Fortune Puzzle With Only One Letter on the Board","datePublished":"2015-02-18T16:57:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:58.443Z","description":"Pat Sajak is more than pleased","url":"https://time.com/3713413/wheel-of-fortune-puzzle-solved-one-letter/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
