Wheel of Fortune’ Player Misses Out On $83,000 After Failing To Solve This Hard Puzzle
“Wheel of Fortune” kicked off its Halloween week with plenty of treats — and one heartbreaking trick.
Monday’s episode, themed “Happy Halloween,” featured an unforgettable performance from Chicago native Anastasia Armitage, whose sharp puzzle-solving left both host Ryan Seacrest and fans in awe — right up until the final round, when the night took a spooky twist.
Before the games began, Armitage charmed the audience with her upbeat energy, sharing that she’s a fan of fall outings — apple orchards, donuts, and pumpkins — but admitted something few could relate to: she’s never tasted coffee, despite loving its smell.
Facing off against Tony Ambrose, a teacher from New York, and Kym Adams, a former biker turned pool player from Texas, Armitage started off slow. Her competitors took early leads, solving the first two puzzles. But soon, the Chicago contestant took control — and never looked back.
Her momentum began with the Same Letter puzzle, winning her a Halloween-perfect getaway to Salem, Massachusetts, worth over $7,000. She followed that up with the Mystery Round, nailing the “Pet Peeve” puzzle and boosting her total winnings to nearly $15,000.
