Solving a "Wheel of Fortune" puzzle with 1 letter showing is a difficult task. Only blind luck or an inside job could make such an extremely hard prospect possible. But as 26-year-old contestant Caitlin Burke lately proved to Pat Sajak, Vanna White and also the rest of the world, if one has a "good feeling" about it, the impossible can become possible.
Amazing ‘Wheel of Fortune’ one letter answer
As Burke got the 27-letter puzzle answer, Pat Sajak had the most amazing look being seen. Burke beat the odds on the "Wheel of Fortune" game show better than any other contestant since 1975 when the show first begun. The solution to the "Wheel of Fortune" puzzle with one letter showing had been "I’ve got a good feeling about this.".
The letter "L" was the only one on the board then. Another contestant had already eliminated the letter "R" as a possible choice.
Access Hollywood explains that many think there could have been some kind of fix that happened for Caitlin Burke to get such an amazing answer. The idea is not supported though. No evidence was brought forth.
Educated guess vs. good luck
The "Wheel of Fortune" one letter answer was something Burke discussed on the Columbia Broadcasting System "Early Show" in an interview. She knew the first word had been a contraction that started with 1 letter, which had to be an "I.". Burke told the "Early Show" that she avoided getting caught up in how many letters were left uncovered. Through "years of practice and watching," Burke was able for making a guess that was half educated, 50 percent good luck. Her success gained her a Caribbean vacation, valued at around $6,500. In money and prizes, about $54,618 had been won by her.
Why did Burke quit?
That’s a question numerous individuals in the media are asking, and also the answer according to some sources is that Caitlin Burke was playing it safe. Clearly she knows how to work with a puzzle, however she’d already hit "Bankrupt" with a spin earlier in the episode. She decided guessing after getting the "L" had been probably a good idea. Exactly why risk another spin?
