A тАЬWheel of FortuneтАЭ contestant named Matt offered a guess to a word clue that was so unbelievably wrong that it may go down in game show history as one of the all-time worst answers.
Matt chose the letter N, which gave a total of $9,900, a commanding lead over his competitors.
After Vanna White flipped the corresponding letters, the board then read, тАЬTH_┬а N_ _T┬а _ _ NER_T_ _N.тАЭ

Despite his epic fail, Matt still enjoyed a happy ending. He won the game and took home $23,350.
