On tonight’s episode of Wheel of Fortune, the clue for the crossword puzzle was: “On your feet”.
The answer was then revealed to be: “Sock, moccasin, slipper, boot.”
However, fans pointed out that the clue was technically misleading.
Because the clue used the plural “feet”, the answers should have been plurals too, for example, socks, mocassins etc.
Viewers took to Twitter to express their frustration.
One called out: “Wheel of Fortune! One error on the crossword. The clue is ’on your feet’ but the answers are single words. Should be on your foot.”
Another raged: “FOOT! ON YOUR FEET? Are you f**king kidding me?”
A third wrote: ”I cannot with this one…. ‘On your foot’ guys not ‘on your feet!’”
UNFORTUNATE
The blunder comes after fans were outraged last month when a contestant named Chris was “robbed” of a prize for saying “a” before an answer.
During the Express Train round, Chris guessed the answer to be “a frozen concoction”, before quickly correcting his answer to just, “frozen concoction”.
However, Pat refused to accept his answer, on the basis that the article “a” did not fit the puzzle.
He then passed it onto the next contestant, who achieved the correct answer simply by saying, “frozen concoction”.
Chris looked highly disappointed by the show’s strict enforcement of the rules.
DRIVE AWAY
However, sometimes the inconsistencies work in the contestants’ favor.
Earlier this month, Californian Calvin drove away in a brand new Mazda despite his “incorrect response”.
At the end of the episode, he was struggling to solve the final puzzle, and after a few botched guesses, he answered “final buzzer,” just in the nick of time.
However, with three spaces on the board, the real answer was actually ”the final buzzer.”
Wheel of Fortune fans were surprised to see that Pat allowed the contestant to get away with the error.
