Four-decade “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak came to the aid of three contestants who went viral for struggling with a common phrase on Tuesday’s episode.
In the painful two-minute clip, it takes Laura Machado, Christopher Coleman and Thomas Lipscomb eight turns and 10 tries to fill in five letters missing from “Another feather in your cap.”
Naturally, the internet rejoiced in the mishap, with some even calling it “the most brutal minute of ‘Wheel of Fortune'” they’d ever seen.
But the discourse evidently crossed a line, because Sajak published a long Twitter thread asking viewers to have a little compassion.
“It always pains me when nice people come on our show to play a game and win some money and maybe fulfill a lifelong dream, and are then subject to online ridicule when they make a mistake or something goes awry,” he began.

Contestant Laura Machado seemed promising to solve the unfinished puzzle, "Another feather _n yo_r _a_," with her first guess, "Another feather in your hat." Unfortunately, that answer was incorrect and her other two guesses: "Another feather in your lap" and "Another feather in your map," were also wrong. After Laura's initial turn, contestant Christopher...

Fans tuning into Wheel of Fortune on Tuesday night were treated to one of the most cringe-inducing yet hilarious puzzle failures in the show’s history.

Another day, another head-scratching fail on “Wheel of Fortune.”
On Tuesday’s episode, the three contestants earned no feathers in their caps as they struggled to solve an apparently not-so-common phrase. In fact, it took all three competitors eight turns and 10 attempts to solve the five-word puzzle “Another feather in your cap.”
The breakdown started when the contestants came thisclose by filling in the letters to reach: “Another feather _n yo_r _a_.” And contestant Laura Machado offered a promising guess with “Another feather in your hat.”
But then she followed with bizarro misses like “Another feather in your lap” and “Another feather in your map.”
Up next, Christopher Coleman suggested a wrong letter and landed on a Bankrupt space on his turns. And Thomas Lipscomb landed on Bankrupt and Lose a Turn with his first two spins — but then managed to guess the letter C and finally, finally solved...
