A CONTESTANT on the Wheel of Fortune made a risque guess when attempting to solve a puzzle, costing herself the game and tens of thousands of dollars. Marie Leo won $13,950 during the game — but.
Fountano had racked up the most money by the time they got to the last round, but then she started acting strange.
Contestants needed to choose letters to identify the puzzle, “Following Footprints,” but Fountano started making unusual choices, according to Fox2.
When host Pat Sajack asked Fountano to pick a letter, she made the worst possible choice – the letter Z.
Sajack was visibly confused, and asked:
“Say that again for me? Did you say ‘Z’?!”
She then calmly responded:
“As in Zulu. Z.”
But she wasn’t done yet. The veteran continued to make terrible choices.
She also chose “X” and missed her opportunity to answer twice because she took too long.
No surprise – she lost the round.
The cash was awarded to fellow veteran and contestant, Steve, who had very little prize money at the time.

When the round ended, the confused host asked Fountano:
“May I ask you a question? You called some unusual letters that round!”
To which she responded:
“That’s what I saw.”
The disastrous final round left viewers of the show baffled:
HAHA okay Nura on @WheelofFortune please tell me what you were trying to do in that final spin guessin all those weird letters #lol#why

Z? Then no letter? Then Q?

WHY IS THIS LADY GUESSING Z, X, AND Q FOR THIS PUZZLE? #wheeloffortune

But then others caught on to why the frontrunner, who successfully answered puzzles for most of the show, would do so poorly in the final round…
Turns out, she was trying to help out her fellow brother in arms – even at the risk of looking foolish.
True to a core value of the military, Fountano put “service over self.”
Her fellow vet started off the round with just $1,600.
But by the end of the round, Steve had $6,400, thanks to her deliberate, bad picks.
See how others reacted after Fountano’s secret got out at IJR.

Two contestants on “Wheel of Fortune” missed out on a big trip when they decided to guess one of the most infrequently used letters to solve a puzzle.
The show is having its “Girlfriends Getaway” week, offering trips to women who perform well in regular play. On Thursday night’s episode, best friends Marleta Robinson and Nancy Krol were incredibly close to winning an $11,772 trip to Costa Rica when they made the bold move to guess the letter “Q.”
Not only is Q rarely used as a guess on “Wheel of Fortune” since it typically has to accompany a U in most English words, but the puzzle that the women were trying to solve didn’t really have room for a Q.

When the ladies made their guess, the puzzle read: 'E _ _TIC - AND - C _ L _ R _ _ L - BIRDS.'

Therefore, the only logical place for a Q would create “EQUTIC” or “C_L_RQUL,” neither of which are words in English. As a result, Robinson and Krol's opponents were given a chance to solve the puzzle and correctly guessed, 'EXOTIC AND COLORFUL BIRDS.' The move won them a trip and cost Robinson and Krol a shot at the bonus round.

Fortunately for the duo’s friendship, they still walked away from the game with $7,300. So a trip isn’t out of the question for them. They’ll likely need to go on a bit of a getaway after the game given that several viewers took to Twitter to roast them on their choice to guess Q.
'Exactly what word was she thinking of when she called a Q 🤔 #WheelOfFortune,' one user mocked.
'where the hell did she think a 'Q' was gonna go??? #wheeloffortune,' another user asked.
'q?? Q!!?? I bet those two aren't friends anymore after that games. #WheelOfFortune,' a third user joked.
'The only time you would guess “Q” is a when blood vessel bursts in your brain and it’s the last thing you say before you collapse and die. #wheeloffortune,' a fourth user wrote.
