A WHEEL of Fortune contestant has won a car in the bonus round with just seconds left to solve it.
The game show player somehow guessed the puzzle with very little letters.
Contestant Blake made it to the bonus round and picked the category “phrase.”
He got all of the letters in the first word, which spelled out “That’s.”
However, the second word only had four letters solved with four blanks.
It looked like this – BA__L_N_.
With only a few seconds to spare, Blake worked it out in his head and said, “That’s Baffling.”
That was the correct answer and the Wheel of Fortune contestant won a car because of it.
Blake had less than two seconds left.
Vanna White and the crowd erupted in cheers as host Pat Sajak pumped his fist in the air.

‘I WAS BAFFLED’
After the show, Blake talked to the show’s social media correspondent, Maggie Sajak.
“That was really exciting,” she said.

“A little bit of a nail biter in the bonus round.”
After the clip of him solving the puzzle was shown, Blake explained how he did it.
“Honestly, I was baffled and it just came to me, the word baffled,” he said.
“I’m baffled that I spit it out with point four seconds left. I couldn’t believe it.
Wheel of Fortune Host Timeline

BUCKET LIST
Maggie, 29, then asked Blake what it was like to play with his parents there.
He said it was fantastic and opened up about battling cancer.
Blake said that he has been fighting it for the past two years and playing on Wheel has always been on his bucket list.
“In recovery. And this is just part of life. It’s fantastic that they could be here,” he said.
“As you go through chemo, you have a lot of time resting, recuperating, things like that and you’re like, ‘Well, what’s on my bucket list?’”
“And for sure this was on it. Just getting on the show and playing, growing up watching it,” he said.
Maggie then congratulated Blake before the video ended.
Fans in the comments said that he was a great contestant and they were rooting for him to win big.
